Bartlett, a United States Senator, informs Brenda Lynn Cotter that the BIA Muskogee office is continuing funding for Wyandotte students until a final determination is made on their eligibility for educational assistance.

![["The letter from Senator Dewey F. Bartlett to Dr. Emery Johnson of the Indian Health Service in 1977 addresses concerns from Indian tribes in Oklahoma about the blood quantum requirement for Indian health care services. The Indian Health Service does not use blood quantum to determine eligibility, but tribes may use it to determine membership. The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes requested a lower blood quantum requirement for health care services, which the Indian Health Service is studying. The letter also discusses the need for changes in blood quantum requirements to be of general applicability, not just for health services. The Indian Health Service aims to provide quality care within fiscal limitations."]](https://jones-2.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Dewey+F.+Bartlett+Collection/Subject,+1946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_11_0000-Indian+Affairs,+Health,+1973+Feb.+-+1978+Sep.,+1973-1978_2-32-10/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_10_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Blood Quantum Requirements for Indian Health Services")

Bartlett expressing concern about a policy that requires Indians to possess certificates of Indian blood in order to receive services at Indian Health Service facilities. She explained that many Indian people do not have these certificates and are unable to obtain them due to backlogs and lack of birth certificates for ancestors. She requested that Senator Bartlett make a formal inquiry and investigation into the issue to help alleviate the suffering of Indian people.
