- Description:
- George B. Schwabe, a member of Congress from Oklahoma, received a letter from citizens of Tulsa requesting him to advocate for the continuation of rent control by the Office of Price Administration (OPA). Schwabe acknowledges the concerns about shortages and price increases that may result from lifting price controls, but also notes the public's dissatisfaction with the OPA due to abuses of authority. He promises to consider the issue carefully and act in the best interest of his constituents. Schwabe has surveyed his district on the issue and will use the feedback to inform his decision-making process.
