Kile explains that Dr. McBrayer, the current Director of Indian Health in Oklahoma, is being moved out due to dissatisfaction from the Choctaw Nation. Kile requests Albert's help in getting Spaan appointed for the position, as the Indians believe Spaan is well-qualified and will work effectively with them.
