United States Senate
Washington, D.C.
Feb. 1, 1939.
My Dear Mother:
We have been in recess since
my last letter, but we have
been at work just the same.
The most vital issue today,
I believe, is the question
of our foreign policy as
expressed in the plan for
National defence. Military
affairs Committee is
holding daily sessions.
I am ranking Repubican
thereon.
Tonight the Republicans
on that committee will meet
in my office-
Yesterday we all attended
a session at the White
House. I could agree
to much that the President
said, and oppose some
of it. It was all secret.
We are now debating
Relief bill.
At 2 will attend Judiciary
Com. on contest over
appointment of a Judge-
Hope you feel better-
Best love, Warren
