He hopes that legislators will consider this approach when voting on flood control measures."]](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_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Advocating for Flood Prevention: A Letter to Representative George B.

The response acknowledges the issue, but expresses doubt about the feasibility of government financing due to high taxes. The writer appreciates the input and promises to consider possible solutions."]](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_50_0000-Housing,%201951-1952/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_3_27_50_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Improving GI Home Loans: Addressing Challenges and Solutions")
