The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs believes that allowing the Indian Health Service to contract with private recruitment firms will help address the shortage of health professionals in the Service. The proposed amendment is technical in nature and aims to remove legal impediments to recruitment efforts. The letter urges the Subcommittee on Health to approve the amendment for the benefit of Indian health programs."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_11_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Health,%201973%20Feb.%20-%201978%20Sep.,%201973-1978_2-32-10/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_10_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Request for Amendment to the Public Health Service Act to Improve Indian Health Services Recruitment")

![["The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has faced criticism from various groups for being ineffective and burdensome. Despite complaints, OSHA is responsible for enforcing health and safety standards in workplaces. The agency has been accused of weak enforcement, political influence, and slow implementation of health standards. OSHA defends its regulations and enforcement efforts, pointing to the complexity of its task and limited resources. Complaints about OSHA regulations being too technical and costly have also been raised. The agency has the authority to delegate its responsibilities to states that meet its standards."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_13_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%201975-1982/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_13_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Health Systems Agency Lawsuit: Protest Over Funds and Director Selection")

The Indian Health Service plans to discontinue part or all of the Public Health Nursing contracts with the State of Oklahoma in FY 1977, as part of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. The State has done a commendable job in providing services, but the Indian Health Service believes it would not be a duplication of services if tribes and/or the Indian Health Service had their own Public Health Nursing program. The Indian Health Service will continue to refer eligible Indian patients to appropriate programs, even if a contract with the State is not renewed. The Indian Health Service is exempt from the new Health Planning Law but subscribes to the philosophy of non-duplication of services. Governor David L. Boren expressed hope that the contractual arrangement can continue and requested information to respond to the situation."]](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_139_18_0000%20--%20Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare%20-%20-%20Indian%20Health%20Service%20-%20Hospitals,%201976/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_139_18_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Indian Health Service Contractual Arrangement with Oklahoma Department of Public Health")
