He notes that the lobbying efforts in favor of OPA come from black marketers, OPA officials, and government employees who do not want to lose their jobs. The constituent, Mr. Britton, writes back expressing support for a strong OPA, disagreeing with Schwabe's stance on the issue and suggesting that the majority of constituents are in favor of the protective office.
