They are concerned about the reinstatement of Floyd Anderson, citing previous issues with his leadership.

![["The document is a response to a letter of inquiry regarding Indian Health Service policies and practices governing eligibility for health services. It explains that the IHS does not use blood quantum to determine eligibility, and eligibility is based on Indian descent. The document also addresses concerns about the requirement of birth certificates for eligibility and discusses the impact of a resolution by the Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes to lower blood quantum requirements. The IHS is studying the programmatic impact of this resolution and seeking guidance on the authority of the Council to change blood quantum requirements."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_10_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Health,%201973%20Feb.%20-%201978%20Sep.,%201973-1978%20(2)/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_11_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Understanding Indian Health Service Eligibility Policies and Practices: A Response to Senator Bartlett")

![["The director of the OKC Urban Indian Health Project is requesting additional funding of $40,000 from the Indian Health Service to meet financial needs for the year. They had set goals and drafted a budget to stabilize the program financially and generate their own income. However, delays in generating income from third-party reimbursements and grants led to a financial shortfall. The director outlines their efforts to secure funding from various sources but acknowledges that some plans were beyond their control. Ultimately, they are requesting assistance from Senator Dewey F. Bartlett to secure the additional funds needed."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_003_2_32_11_0016.jpg "Struggles and Financial Needs of the OKC Urban Indian Health Project in 1977")
