![["The document responds to a request from Honorable Carl Albert regarding the removal of restrictions on lands of Indians applying for old age assistance in Oklahoma. The Inter-Tribal Council recommended restrictions not be removed, but the Area Director cannot comply due to the Social Security Act. The Area Director's report on the McMillion case is enclosed, showing that removal of restrictions was necessary for the family to receive assistance. The document explains the legal basis for eligibility and criticizes Chief Belvin for misunderstanding the situation. The case of Mr. and Mrs. Hendrix McMillion is highlighted as an example where restrictions needed to be removed for the family to receive assistance."]](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_11_67_0000%20-%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Welfare%20and%20Old%20Age%20Assistance%20(2),%201951/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_11_67_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Advocating for Elderly Indian Citizens: A Call to Action")
