The OPA Situation: A Response to Mr. Dwight M. Mitchell, 1946-07-15

The letter discusses the effects of the OPA (Office of Price Administration) being removed and the increase in prices that resulted. The author argues that the inflation was caused in part by OPA regulations and approval. They also point out that rent controls, which were partially and unfairly administered, turned out to be a menace rather than a benefit. The author defends their vote against the OPA bill and highlights that many other members of Congress, including both United States Senators, also voted the same way.
