![["Richard L. Sifers, a resident of Oklahoma, wrote to Congressman Page Belcher expressing his support for the Jacobs-Javits Bill, which authorizes funds for medical research in artificial kidneys and transplants. Sifers, who currently uses an artificial kidney, emphasized the importance of such research in saving lives and improving quality of life. Congressman Belcher acknowledged Sifers' letter and informed him that it would be forwarded to Congressman John N. \"Happy\" Camp, who represents Sifers' district. Congressman Belcher assured Sifers that Congressman Camp would keep him informed on the progress of the bill."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/91st%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_10_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_10_144_6B_0000-Labor%20and%20Public%20Welfare%20Legislative,%201969-1970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_10_144_6B_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence on Medical Research Funding for Artificial Kidneys and Transplants: A Plea from a Beneficiary")
![["The document from Mr. Page Belcher to Mr. Bob K. Hicks informs him that funds were not appropriated for the Indian Business Development Program for the fiscal year. Mr. Belcher checked into the matter on Mr. Hicks' behalf and enclosed a letter from Mr. Harris Loesch, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, explaining the situation. The document states that new authorizing legislation is needed for the Program to continue, and no action has been scheduled on it yet. Mr. Hicks had applied for a grant from the Program but was informed that no funds were available. Mr. Belcher offers further assistance and support in the matter."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/92nd%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_11_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_11_168_21A_0000-Interior%20-%20Departmental%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%201971-1972/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_11_168_21A_0015_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Indian Business Development Program Funding in 1971")
