![["The document discusses the controversy between the federal Public Roads Administration and the Oklahoma State Highway Commission over the allocation of federal funds for highway projects. The state believes the federal agency is interfering in its highway program by prioritizing projects in larger cities over smaller ones. The state argues that local officials should have sole authority over initiating projects and that the federal agency should not impose its will on the states. The document highlights the importance of building roads based on local needs and not just on traffic counts. The state hopes to win the fight against the federal agency to prioritize projects in the public interest."]](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_20_11_0000%20-%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Choctaw%20Tribe,%201954/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_20_11_0018_thumbnail.jpg "Federal Meddling: The Battle Over State Highway Programs")
![["The document responds to a request from Honorable Carl Albert regarding the removal of restrictions on lands of Indians applying for old age assistance in Oklahoma. The Inter-Tribal Council recommended restrictions not be removed, but the Area Director cannot comply due to the Social Security Act. The Area Director's report on the McMillion case is enclosed, showing that removal of restrictions was necessary for the family to receive assistance. The document explains the legal basis for eligibility and criticizes Chief Belvin for misunderstanding the situation. The case of Mr. and Mrs. Hendrix McMillion is highlighted as an example where restrictions needed to be removed for the family to receive assistance."]](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_11_67_0000%20-%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Welfare%20and%20Old%20Age%20Assistance%20(2),%201951/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_11_67_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Advocating for Elderly Indian Citizens: A Call to Action")
