- Description:
- The document is a letter from Wilbur La Roe, Jr., the General Counsel of The National Independent Meat Packers Association, to the Honorable George B. Schwabe explaining the Barkley amendment to the Price Control Act in relation to the meat price problem. The main points of the letter include the need for a fair profit margin for processing each species of livestock, the differences in opinion between the meat packers and OPA, and the importance of having this requirement written into law rather than relying on personal promises. The document urges support for the Barkley amendment as it strengthens price control.
