- The first letter is from George B. Schwabe, a member of the House of Representatives, expressing his opposition to the Office of Price Administration (OPA) and advocating for the abolishment of federal bureaus that stifle private enterprise. He criticizes President Truman's approach to shifting the functions of bureaus to established government departments.
