![["The document consists of letters from Fred Lookout, the Principal Chief of the Osages, to Congressman George B. Schwabe and Congressman Jed Johnson regarding the reduction of the Osage budget and the impact on their people. Lookout expresses concern over the recommendations made by a delegation in Washington and urges the congressmen to restore the full amount of their budget estimate. He also highlights the results of the recent tribal election, where members of the delegation were defeated, indicating that their actions did not align with the wishes of the Osage people. Lookout requests support in ensuring the full budget is restored during the appropriation bill consideration."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_37_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_37_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Indian Affairs: Concerns and Recommendations for Appropriation Bill")
