![["The State Department of Education in Oklahoma submitted a proposal for Project TRIBES to the Office of Education, seeking funding for a program involving compiling information about Indian students for computer studies. Despite efforts to secure funding, the Office of Education indicated that they would not be able to support the project due to lack of funds and a desire to develop a statewide Indian program instead. The Speaker of the House, Carl Albert, expressed his personal interest in the project and urged for it to be given careful consideration. Despite the disappointment, the State Department of Education remains hopeful and appreciative of the support received."]](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_98_24_0000-Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare%20-%20Education%20-%20Indians,%201972/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_98_24_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Project TRIBES: A Request for Consideration")
![["Joe Tyson, a landowner in Duncan, Oklahoma, received an offer of $6,300 from the Oklahoma Department of Highways for a 13.38-acre property for the purpose of rerouting Highway 81 South. Tyson felt the offer was inadequate and raised concerns about the value of the property, relocating water meters, gates, and fences, and mineral rights. The United States Department of the Interior assured Tyson that his rights would be protected and explained the process for negotiating compensation. The Highway Department filed for condemnation to acquire the property, and Tyson was advised to secure legal counsel if he was not satisfied with the compensation offered. The matter was brought to the attention of Senator Dewey Bartlett for further assistance."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_31_22_0000-Indians%20Affairs,%20Elbert,%20Hazel/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_31_22_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Property Rights Issue with Oklahoma Department of Highways")
