![["The Governor of the Chickasaw Nation expresses support for legislation proposed by the President regarding Indian matters, but raises concerns about a specific proposal authorizing the Secretary of Interior to contract the administration of the Johnson-O'Malley Program with Indian tribes. The Governor believes that in Oklahoma, where there are many tribes and schools participating in the program, competition and jealousy among tribes could arise and public school administrators may be hesitant to accept tribal educational programs."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_33_10_0000-Indian%20Self-determination,%201953/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_10_0019_thumbnail.jpg "Supporting Enactment of Indian Legislation: A Letter from Governor Overton James")
![["Joe Tyson, a landowner in Duncan, Oklahoma, received an offer of $6,300 from the Oklahoma Department of Highways for a 13.38-acre property for the purpose of rerouting Highway 81 South. Tyson felt the offer was inadequate and raised concerns about the value of the property, relocating water meters, gates, and fences, and mineral rights. The United States Department of the Interior assured Tyson that his rights would be protected and explained the process for negotiating compensation. The Highway Department filed for condemnation to acquire the property, and Tyson was advised to secure legal counsel if he was not satisfied with the compensation offered. The matter was brought to the attention of Senator Dewey Bartlett for further assistance."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_31_22_0000-Indians%20Affairs,%20Elbert,%20Hazel/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_31_22_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Property Rights Issue with Oklahoma Department of Highways")
