Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Moody
President Roosevelt tells Attorney General Moody that the “Daniels payment matter” is more important than he initially thought, and holds the position that it is desirable for it to be understood that if a president makes a recess appointment, the appointee will continue to be paid for their service until the nomination is formally rejected by the Senate. Roosevelt believes that officials in the Treasury Department should be instructed to take this view.
