 Item — Box: 6, Folder: Unknown
Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_6_33_0021
The letter is from George B. Schwabe, a member of Congress, responding to a constituent's concern about the revival of the Office of Price Administration (OPA). Schwabe explains that he has received overwhelming opposition to price controls from constituents, particularly in regards to rent control. He believes that bureaucratic control is difficult to eliminate once implemented and that the OPA was poorly administered. He acknowledges the lobbying efforts of those who benefit from price controls but assures the constituent that he will consider their views when voting on the issue. The constituent, John B. Shaw, expresses concern that Schwabe will vote against the OPA due to being up for reelection.
