Massie that the War Department regulations previously provided to him cover his case and no additional regulations are applicable. It is mentioned that a bill introduced on his behalf by Congressman Schwabe will likely not proceed further until Congress reconvenes in January 1947. Massie responds on October 17, 1946, stating that the regulations provided do not apply to his case as they deal with dishonorable discharges. He requests a reevaluation and mentions an Army Regulation 1481 that was in effect in 1918, which he believes is relevant to his case."]](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_36_0000-Private%20Legislation,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_36_0014_thumbnail.jpg "The Case of Mr. Edward B.

![["The report of the Administrator of the Rural Electrification Administration in 1946 highlights the increased demand for electricity by American farmers, the allocation of record loan funds to meet this demand, and the opposition faced from some segments of the utility industry. Despite challenges, rural electrification continued to progress, with REA borrowers building and energizing thousands of miles of power lines and serving more consumers. The report also emphasizes the importance of providing electricity to all rural areas and the success of locally owned and operated cooperative groups in solving their own problems and contributing to the nation's 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_3_66_0000-Rural%20Electrification%20Administration,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_66_0019_thumbnail.jpg "Empowering Rural America: 1946 Report of the Rural Electrification Administration")
