Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James A. Tawney
President Roosevelt wishes to call the attention of Representative Tawney, Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, to the need for increased appropriations for the education and support of Native Americans in Alaska, as well as for the support of the reindeer industry there. Roosevelt explains some of the plans of the Commissioner of Education for Alaska, and urges Tawney that the full amount asked for by Secretary of the Interior James Rudolph Garfield be appropriated.
