- The document from George B. Schwabe acknowledges receipt of a letter from Ruth L. Pierce expressing opposition to the resurrection of the O.P.A. Schwabe states that he has consistently opposed the O.P.A. and campaigned on the promise to abolish it. He mentions receiving numerous letters urging him to keep the O.P.A. dead and assures Pierce that he will continue to fight against it.
