Staff Only

The letters exchanged between Mr. Michaels and Congressman Schwabe discuss their disapproval of the Fair Employment Practice Act, H.R. 2232, and their concerns about the potential consequences of the proposed legislation. Mr. Schwabe indicates that he will not sign a petition in support of the bill and is likely to vote against it if it comes before the House. Mr. Michaels expresses his hope that the bill will not become law, as he believes it would grant excessive powers to a government bureau and go against the principles of democratic legislative government.
