Bartlett, a U.S. Senator from Oklahoma, wrote to Nancy Hanks, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, requesting a copy of her reply to a letter from the Cherokee National Historic Society regarding potential conflicts between their policies and legislation. The document from the Cherokee National Historic Society outlined their struggles as a small non-profit organization to access Endowment programs due to policies that favored larger, well-funded organizations. The organization cited challenges with deadlines for applications, matching fund requirements, and commitments to artists and experts, which disadvantaged smaller organizations like theirs."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201946%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201946-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0027_thumbnail.jpg "Small Organizations and National Endowment for the Arts: A Call for Policy Change")

The program has had a positive impact on the community by providing job opportunities and improving the lives of participants' children. The Authority acknowledges past problems but is working on solutions. The ultimate goal is to provide adequate housing for all people living in substandard conditions.
