- Description:
- Jimmy Campos, a student at Oral Roberts University, wrote a letter to Congressman Jones expressing his concerns about inflation and President Carter's proposed measures to control it. Campos believes that the economy may be overstimulated and questions how Tulsa will react to voluntary wage and price controls. He emphasizes the need for action against inflation to prevent future suffering. Congressman Jones's office manager, Mary Pat Gaffney, responds on behalf of Jones, stating his support for balanced federal budgets, decreased federal spending, and voluntary guidelines for wage and price controls. Gaffney assures Campos that Jones will continue to work towards saner federal spending policies.
