![["The letter is from Elmer Manatowa, Jr., the Principal Chief of the Sac and Fox Tribe of Oklahoma, expressing concern about the decision made by the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs regarding bills favored by the tribe. He asks for no further action to be taken until the tribe's Annual General Council Meeting on August 29th, where he will make a full report and recommendations. The decision could potentially result in a loss of funds for tribal members, so he is seeking additional direction from the General Council. Manatowa also thanks Congressman John N.
