The letter from George B. Schwabe to Tom Cooper expresses his opinion that the bills S-713 and HR-2617 will not serve any good purpose if passed. Tom Cooper had requested Schwabe's vote against the bills, stating that they would negatively impact the motor transportation industry. Cooper explains that the bills would force operators to purchase tires outright at retail prices, hindering the industry's growth and development. He also highlights the importance of using operators to test and improve tire design. Cooper requests Schwabe's influence to vote against the proposed legislation.
