Vollmer; letter (4/29) from Wm. D. Buck & Albert E. Albertoni (International Assoc. of Fire Fighters) to Wilson re/ “Since the House of Representatives has passed H.R. 7775, we wish to take this opportunity to express . . . our sincere thanks for your participation in maintaining the exclusion clause in the our Social Security Law” - they supported “the formation of Pension Systems designed to meet the needs of our profession;” a letter (5/14/65) from Commissioner Robert M.

Widner – she wanted just “facts” not “propaganda;” letters (June & Aug.’65) re/ Wilson and the House Ways and Means Committee respond to Mrs. Hope Reinbold inquiry concerning widow benefits and being “appalled at the deprivation and insecurity of middle aged women” living in San Diego; letters (May & June ‘65) re/ the disability case of Daniel K.

Hohnstein in obtaining disability benefits; letters (8/65-10/65) re/ responses to Edwin R.
