![["Various members of the House of Representatives, including Wright Patman, Clarence E. Kilburn, and Albert Rains, are discussing proposed changes to the Housing Act of 1937 to allow Indian tribes in Oklahoma to participate in the low-rent housing program. The Governor of the Chickasaw Nation has recommended amendments to the act to eliminate discrimination against Oklahoma Indian Tribes. President Lyndon Johnson has also proposed expanding housing aid for low-income families as part of a campaign against poverty. The Task Force on Indian Affairs has recommended allowing Indian tribes to establish housing agencies and participate in the program. The current limitations on participation by Indian tribes in Oklahoma are seen as frustrating and unfair."]](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_47_56_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Housing,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_56_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Proposal for Indian Tribe Participation in Low-Rent Housing Program")
![["Chief Solomon Homer inquired about the possibility of obtaining a medical doctor to treat Indians in Choctaw county, but Dr. McBrayer stated there may not be enough work to justify a full-time physician.

The Indian Health Area Office in Oklahoma City also proposed increasing health services at Antlers and extending them to residents of surrounding areas.
