Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_5_31_0012

Scope and Contents

The letter is from George B. Schwabe, a Member of Congress, to Walton Clinton, a realtor in Tulsa, discussing two bills in Congress - H.R. 4761 (Patman Bill) and H.R. 5579 (Wolcott Amendment). Schwabe expresses his disagreement with the Patman Bill, believing it will not solve the housing situation for veterans. He also criticizes the OPA and the new expediter, and indicates he will vote against the Patman Bill. Schwabe sends copies of the bills and related documents to Clinton for his consideration. Clinton, in his letter to Schwabe, expresses concern about the unfairness of the amendments to the Patman Bill and urges Schwabe to study both sides before casting his vote.
