Mr.. PRESIDENT: Mr.. Macon of North Carolina,
used to say that any speech, or debate, or other
thing, that prevented too much legislation by Con-
gress, was an absolute benefit 60 the public. IF Mr..
Macon was right, this resolution inquiry has alrca-

THE EAST ROOM LETTER
Yhe object and effect OF that production was to

than to Republican Presidents and offensive to the
