HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

Abstract

CHAPTER 18. Development of the Councils 1905-1909 THE COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION For some time the Association had been served by a committee on medical legislation consisting of Dr. C. A. L. Reed as chairman and Drs. William H. Welch and William L. Rodman. The task of watching medical legislation in Washington and throughout the nation as well was far too great for a committee of this type. The committee had met frequently in Washington; it had established a national auxiliary legislative committee with 2,800 local correspondents. It had established also a national legislative council with representatives of the individual states to agitate whenever action was needed on medical legislation. The legislative council had not met in 1904 because there had not been questions of medical interest before the Congress. The Committee on National Legislation was, however, disturbed at this time because of an executive order issued by President Theodore Roosevelt
