![["The document is a letter from Governor Val Peterson to Congressman George B. Schwabe enclosing resolutions adopted at a flood control meeting held by the Missouri River States Committee. The resolutions call for federal appropriations to complete the Pick-Sloan plan of flood control in order to prevent a recurrence of the flood catastrophes experienced in 1951. The resolutions also call for immediate construction of various dams and flood control projects in the Missouri and Arkansas River basins."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/82nd%20Congress,%201951-1953-CAC_CC_047_3_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_047_3_27_36_0000-Flood%20Control,%201952/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_3_27_36_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Flood Control Resolutions of the Missouri River States Committee")

Schwabe, a congressman, thanking Frank Lou Jr. for his letter advocating for flood prevention by stopping water where it falls instead of building large dams.

Schwabe opposed the bill as he believed it would give the President too much power and preferred to trust the existing government agencies for flood relief.
