![["The document from Carl Albert, a congressman from Oklahoma, expresses concerns about the appointment of Mr. Ellis as Executive Officer in the Public Health Service Indian Health Area Office in Oklahoma City. Indian leaders in the district are unhappy that someone from Alaska is being transferred in for the position, and they are requesting for the Executive Officer to be someone who is familiar and sympathetic with the Oklahoma Indian population. The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes also recommended that the Executive Officer be an Oklahoman. Congressman Albert suggests finding a well-qualified person who meets the criteria to avoid potential conflicts and ensure the success of the program."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_001_4_63_13_0025.jpg "Concerns Regarding Executive Officer Appointment at Public Health Service Indian Health Area Office in Oklahoma City")

![["The document addresses lapses in communication regarding eligibility for health services for Native Americans. It clarifies that services are available to those of Indian descent and their non-Indian spouses, regardless of residency. Blood quantum is a factor for members of the Five Civilized Tribes. Income is no longer used to establish priority for services, and emergencies will always be prioritized. Only the Service Unit Director or their designee can deny services, and appeals can be made to the Indian Health Area Director. The document urges cooperation in spreading this information and offers support for further discussion on the topic."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_001_4_63_11_0004.jpg "Clarifying Eligibility for Indian Health Services")
