- Description:
- The author, George B. Schwabe, is responding to a constituent, Hunter Miracle, regarding the issue of price control. Schwabe states that the majority of constituents are opposed to the revival of price controls, particularly rent controls. He believes that bureaucratic control, such as the O.P.A., is difficult to eliminate once established. Schwabe acknowledges the lobbying efforts of black marketers and O.P.A. officials to maintain control. He appreciates hearing from constituents and promises to vote based on their input. Miracle urges Schwabe to do all in his power to retain price control.
