![["This is a letter from Jack Tucker to Congressman James R. Jones expressing concern about the nation's budget and excessive spending. Tucker questions the government's practice of giving away tax dollars and making loans to foreign nations while exceeding its own budget. He calls for more responsible spending to avoid economic downfall. Congressman Jones responds, agreeing with Tucker's views and providing information on the interest paid on the national debt. Jones assures Tucker that he will continue to support budget-cutting legislation in Congress."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/James%20R.%20Jones%20Collection/James%20R.%20Jones%20Correspondence%20Series,%201968-1986%20/CAC_CC_109_4_22_1_0000-District%20Office,%20Jones%20Clippings,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_109_4_22_36_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence on Federal Budget Concerns between Congressman James R.

![["The document is a series of letters regarding Ben Brown's attempt to establish his ancestry as a Creek Indian. The Bureau of Indian Affairs and Muskogee Area Office have both stated that they cannot offer him recognition as a Creek Indian due to lack of sufficient proof of his Creek Indian blood. Senator Bartlett made an inquiry on his behalf but was unable to provide any hope of recognition. Brown's mother was half Seminole and half Creek, but only enrolled as a Seminole, making it difficult to establish his Creek Indian heritage. Brown is seeking help to clarify and establish his ancestry for potential benefits for his children."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_28_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Creek%20Nation,%201971%20Sept.%20-%201978%20June.,%201971-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_28_0026_thumbnail.jpg "Ancestry Inquiry for Ben Brown and Creek Tribe Recognition")
![["Senator Roy Boatner called on behalf of Mr. Joel Oliver, who bid on a septic tank system project for the Chickasaw Nation but was not awarded the contract despite being the low bidder. The main contractor, Aztec Const. Company, did not follow the specifications in the bid, leading Mr. Oliver to feel unfairly treated. Senator Boatner suggested that Mr. Oliver could have submitted a different bid if he had known the specifications would not be followed. Mr. Oliver seeks assistance from Carl Albert in resolving this issue."]](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_131_15_0000%20-%20Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare%20-%20Public%20Health%20Service%20-%20Oklahoma%20(Miscellaneous),%201975/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_131_15_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns of Unfair Bidding Practices in Septic Tank Contract Award")

The response from the Bureau of Indian Affairs acknowledges the issue and explains that a commission has been established to review the relationship between the Federal government and Indian tribes in order to recommend necessary changes. The Bureau agrees that the take-overs are wrong and should not be permitted, but also emphasizes the need for prudent action to prevent bloodshed."]](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_132_2_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20General,%201975/thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_132_2_0018_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence on Indian Militant Occupations and Response from Bureau of Indian Affairs, 1975")

Oliver threatened to inform politicians and Indian leaders about the misuse of taxpayers' money if action was not taken against Cobble. Mahooty asked Oliver to keep in touch and provided information about bidding on septic tanks. Other unrelated information was discussed during the meeting. Mahooty informed that they would meet Oliver again at a Chickasaw Housing Authority meeting to clarify the role of the Indian Health Service in enforcing specifications.

Jones expresses agreement with the need to eliminate unnecessary spending and states that he has supported budget-cutting initiatives in Congress.
