The Ongoing Debate: Price Control and O.P.A. Revival1946-07-01unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_047_1_6_32_0019The document is a letter from Congressman George B. Schwabe to a constituent regarding the issue of price controls, specifically the revival of the Office of Price Administration (OPA). Schwabe mentions that he has received overwhelming opposition to the revival of OPA from his constituents, with many expressing concerns about bureaucratic control and poor administration. He notes that the lobbying efforts in favor of OPA come from black marketers, OPA officials, and government employees who do not want to lose their jobs. The constituent, Mr. Britton, writes back expressing support for a strong OPA, disagreeing with Schwabe's stance on the issue and suggesting that the majority of constituents are in favor of the protective office. Schwabe acknowledges the differing views and states that he will consider all perspectives when voting on related measures in Congress.
