Francis Biddle. now Attorney General. and Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles to investigate. They found that the whole matter had been held up by functionaries Inside the State Department. including James Dunn. whom we are now asked to confirm as Assistant Secretary of State. Simultaneously. the State Department had issued various passport visas to Nazi businessmen who wanted to enter this country. such as Dr. Gerhard Westrick. who later was discovered to be Hitlers own economic envoy and who was forced to leave the country in a hurry. That is just one incident which has come to my attention in which the Presidents policies have been flouted. ignored. and sabotaged by the men who were supposed to carry them out.
