President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Gulick collaborated on a wide range of federal issues. For example, Luther instructed the president on administrative options for the new Social Security system, and the president instructed Luther on the importance of the apparently superfl uous Social Security “personal accounts,” disabusing him of stripping politics completely from administration. “Th at account is there,” FDR explained to Luther, “so those sons of bitches up on the Hill can’t ever abandon this system when I’m gone.”
