![["The document writer disagrees with Mr. and Mrs. Manion's support for re-enacting O.P.A. permanently and believes that representatives of the people should express the wishes of the people rather than just following the President's direction. The writer also agrees with the idea of eventually eliminating price controls, but believes it should be done in a way that allows for competition to determine reasonable prices. The writer criticizes the influence of bureaucrats and pressure groups on Congress and believes that the current system of price controls is not fitting for the American economy."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_6_33_0000-Price%20Controls,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_33_0018_thumbnail.jpg "Voicing Concerns: A Letter on Price Controls and Government Influence")
![["The document from Frederick L. Brooks to Representative George Schwabe expresses opposition to the revival of O.P.A. or any form of price controls, except for rent controls. Brooks believes that bureaucratic control, such as O.P.A., is poorly administered and that people are tired of it. He believes that lobbyists, black marketers, and bureaucrats are pushing to continue price controls to protect their jobs. Brooks urges Schwabe to support an effective price control bill to prevent uncontrolled inflation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_6_34_0000-Price%20Controls,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_34_0021_thumbnail.jpg "Importance of Effective Price Control in Post-War America")
