Scope and Contents

Letter from David F. Durham proposing a solution to various social problems such as inflation, overpopulation, and energy and resource shortages. Durham argues that overpopulation is a primary cause of these issues, and that immigration, both legal and illegal, exacerbates them. He suggests limiting immigration and refugee admissions, improving border controls, and providing support for family planning services. Durham also recommends allowing temporary workers into the country on a limited and monitored basis. He requests a response from the recipient regarding their position on these issues and any relevant legislation they support.
