- Description:
- The document is a letter from Honorable George B. Schwabe in response to a letter from Rev. Eugene S. Tanner regarding price control legislation. Schwabe mentions that he has received overwhelming opposition to the revival of price controls, particularly O.P.A., from his constituents. He believes that continued bureaucratic control makes it harder to eliminate and that the O.P.A. was poorly administered. He also notes that lobbying efforts from black marketers, O.P.A. officials, and bureaucrats are influencing public opinion. Schwabe assures Tanner that he will consider the views of his constituents when voting on legislation.
