Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James Bronson Reynolds, Samuel B. Donnelly, and Henry Beach Needham
President Roosevelt received the report regarding conditions in Panama. He is greatly impressed and will submit it with recommendations to Congress. Likewise, he will send it to Colonel George W. Goethals, asking that he implement the recommendations where possible. Roosevelt commends the work of the Panama Canal, especially the advances in hygiene in the region. While there are needed corrections, the United States government looks after the welfare, health, and comfort of those working for it.
