- Description:
- The document is from George B. Schwabe, a member of Congress, responding to a letter from R.M. Hamilton regarding a bill for a National Old Age Pension. Schwabe expresses his support for the bill and criticizes the Committee in the House of Representatives for not considering it fairly. He also discusses his frustration with the Truman Administration and their handling of legislation. Hamilton disavows a card sent by supposed Townsend Plan supporters and urges Schwabe to carefully study the evidence supporting the bill. Hamilton also expresses his belief that the Republican Party will be responsible for electing the next president and emphasizes the importance of independence and following principles in serving the country.
