Response to Denial of Slaughterer's License: A Bureaucratic Dilemma, 1945-07-16

The letter from the Office of Price Administration explains the reasons for denying a petition for a slaughterer's license and the regulations in place during wartime that affect the distribution of meat. The letter outlines the challenges faced due to the war conditions, such as the increased demand from the Armed Services and the need to regulate the output of non-federally inspected slaughterers. The OPA explains the measures taken to ensure a fair distribution of meat and the success of their program in increasing the volume of meat available in different areas. The letter also addresses the impact of point rationing and the restrictions on shipping non-federally inspected meat across state lines.
