![["The document outlines a meeting held in 1972 regarding the misuse of Johnson-O'Malley (JOM) funds in Oklahoma schools, specifically in relation to education for Native American students. It was found that the funds were not being used as intended, and agreements were reached to cease negotiations on the FY 1973 State contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs for JOM funds. A full review of the use of JOM funds in Oklahoma was agreed upon, and steps were taken to involve tribal Indian groups and individuals in the review process. Concerns were also raised about the expulsion of Indian students from public schools due to dress code conflicts, and the BIA pledged to seek ways to reinstate these students in schools."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/92nd%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_11_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_11_168_21A_0000-Interior%20-%20Departmental%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%201971-1972/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_11_168_21A_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Report on Alleged Misuse of Johnson-O'Malley Funds in Oklahoma and Agreements Reached at Pawnee Agency Meeting")
![["Mrs. Thelma Hudson, president of the Wa-pe-he Home Demonstration Club in Red Rock, Oklahoma, wrote to Senator Harris requesting the restoration of the Home Demonstration Agent for the Pawnee, Otoe, and Ponca community. She received a positive response from Member of Congress Page Belcher, who informed her that the Agent had been restored. Belcher also provided information regarding the Indian Home Economics program and explained the reduction in the Extension program due to funding limitations. The document from the Bureau of Indian Affairs highlighted the importance of housing programs but assured that the need for Extension services to Indian people had not been reduced. The Wa Pe' He Home Demonstration Club members expressed their appreciation for the Extension services and requested the support of Senator Harris and Senator Monroney in restoring the services."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/89th%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_8_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_8_95_4B_0000-Interior%20-%20Departmental%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%201965-1966/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_8_95_4B_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Restoration of the Home Demonstration Agent for Pawnee, Otoe, and Ponca Communities: A Communication Exchange")
