Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Joseph M. Dixon

President Roosevelt does not feel that he would be able to sign Representative Dixon’s act opening the Blackfoot Reservation in Montana for settlement because it does not adequately protect the water rights of the Blackfoot people. If Dixon withdraws the bill for now, Roosevelt promises to discuss it with him and Senator Thomas Henry Carter as soon as Congress convenes in December, and after he has received a report from Commissioner of Indian Affairs Francis E. Leupp. If the bill is passed in its current form, however, Roosevelt feels that he will have to veto it.
