Mandelman expressed his son's desire to return to college and requested Schwabe's assistance in ensuring his son can pursue his chosen profession as soon as possible. Schwabe's secretary acknowledged receiving Mandelman's letter and provided information on the G. I. Bill of Rights and the Ellender bill. Schwabe assured Mandelman that he would monitor the progress of the bill and help in any way possible.
