Harold Ickes considered making Robert Moses director of NPS, but FDR talked him out of it. (from The Secret Diary of Harold Ickes vol. 3). 🗃️
make, and then I asked him what he thought making Robert Moses, of New York, Director the National of Park Service. He didn't react as violently as I had expected. He thought it over for a minute and then he said: "Well, Bob Moses would make a great park system. He would get things done. And in getting things done he would run over anybody or any law. He pays absolutely no attention to the law. You would get awake in the middle of every night and wonder what Bob Moses was doing and how he was doing it." All of which is probably true, and yet if Moses agrees with me on park policy, I think that I would be willing to run the risk, even though I realize that it would be turning a man loose who couldn't be headed after I had turned him loose. I am thoroughly persuaded that I cannot go along much longer with Cammerer. In discussing the campaign next
