Mr. Johnson wrote to Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas asking for information about H. R. 6143, a bill to incorporate the American Veterans of World War II. Douglas responded, explaining that national organizations like AMVETS are incorporated by Congress to clarify their status under federal tax statutes. She assured Johnson that she is working to secure the passage of the bill and offered further assistance if needed. Johnson had written on behalf of Southwest Post No. 27 of AMVETS and was seeking support for the bill and information on why their organization should receive a national charter.
