![["The document discusses the appropriations process for the Indian Health Service, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Interior instead of the Education and Labor Subcommittee. The operating budget for the Indian Health Service in Oklahoma is used for contract money, and increasing the budget could allow for more clinics to be contracted. There is no guarantee that an increase in one area would lead to an increase in another, but it is something to consider."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_110_8_0000-Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare%20-%20Indian%20Health%20Service%20-%20HugoMcAlesterEufaula%20Centers,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_110_8_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Understanding the Appropriations Process: Interior Subcommittee and Indian Health Service")
![["Mrs. Rita Megehee wrote to the Bureau of Indian Affairs inquiring about her maternal grandmother's tribal affiliation. The Bureau checked records and found that her grandmother was not listed as a member of the Absentee Shawnee Tribe but was listed on the 1394 Sac and Fox roll. The Bureau confirmed that Mrs. Megehee's children are eligible for educational assistance based on their Indian blood quantum. The Shawnee Agency also confirmed Mrs. Megehee's Indian blood quantum but could not verify her Shawnee heritage."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_123_25_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Sac%20and%20Fox,%201974/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_123_25_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Blood Verification for Educational Assistance Eligibility")
