![["Mr. Thompson, a veteran and small business owner, wrote to Congressman Schwabe in Washington, D.C. suggesting a change in the policy of the War Assets Administration regarding veteran certification for purchasing government surplus property. He believes that veterans should only need to benefit 51% from the business, rather than have 51% invested. He and his brother, both veterans, are unable to purchase surplus equipment because they do not meet the current investment requirement. Mr. Thompson hopes for a more favorable policy for veterans in this matter."]](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_58_0000-Small%20Business,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_58_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Suggestion for Amending Policy on Veterans' Business Ownership")
