Roosevelt calls convoy plan absurd as Congress debates
President Roosevelt called the navy convoy idea for supplies abroad "absurd to talk about" for now. On Capitol Hill, opponents argue the issue may still be under consideration, with Senator Tobey pressing a no convoy measure while others worry about timing during Easter recess. Senate Foreign Relations chair George says the administration would act only with Congress and notes neutrality law bars U.S. ships from entering combat zones without authorization. Teeland is not within the combat zone.
