- The document is from George B. Schwabe, a member of the House of Representatives, responding to a letter from a constituent, J. L. Durbin, expressing opposition to the O.P.A. (Office of Price Administration). Schwabe agrees with Durbin's criticisms of the O.P.A. and states that he has consistently opposed the Bureau and its practices. He mentions that he was one of only twelve members of the House of Representatives who voted against the extension of the O.P.A. He also mentions that he supports limiting O.P.A. supervision to rents only for one year.
