Telegram from Theodore Roosevelt to Edward Henry Harriman
President Roosevelt tells Union Pacific Railroad Director Harriman he appreciates the actions he is planning to take regarding the flooding of the Colorado River in Southern California. Roosevelt has instructed the Reclamation Service to contact Harriman. When congress reconvenes, Roosevelt will recommend laws to prevent a repeat of the disaster, and also hopes to provide “equitable distribution of the burden.”
