![["The document consists of a series of letters discussing the Voorhees Bill (H.R. 97) which is being debated in Congress. The bill is opposed by various individuals, including Congressman George B. Schwabe, due to its provisions that would give the government power to intervene in private patent suits, mandate compulsory licensing of patents, and allow for the cancellation of patents. The documents express concerns about the potential negative impact of the bill on property rights, innovation, and research. Schwabe reassures constituents that he and his committee are not in favor of the bill and will carefully consider all aspects before making a decision. The documents highlight the importance of constituent feedback in informing legislative decisions."]](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_5_0000-Patents,%201944-1945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_5_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to the Voorhees Bill: Correspondence with Congressman Schwabe")
![["In the letter dated March 6, 1945, Mr. George B. Schwabe discusses his intention to introduce a bill in Congress to create a commission to investigate the individual competency of Native Americans and the removal of their restrictions. He believes that many intelligent Native Americans are capable of handling their own affairs and should no longer be considered restricted by the government. However, he also recognizes the need for a competency board to assess the qualifications of individual Native Americans before removing restrictions. He suggests that members of the commission should be selected from the tribes themselves and that the findings of the commission should be final, with the Secretary of the Interior issuing orders based on their determinations. Mr. Schwabe seeks input and suggestions from Mr. F. W. Files, an attorney with experience working with Native Americans, on the proposed bill."]](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_5_55_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_55_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Proposal for Competency Commission for Indian Affairs")
