![["The letter addressed to Senator Fred R. Harris on December 8, 1966, highlights the issue of the Indian Bureau acting as a collection agency for lawyers and grafters, specifically in the case of John Johnson. Johnson, who is disabled and in poor health, is being pressured by the Indian Bureau to pay an attorney's fees and debt without any legal attachment or garnishment. The letter also mentions a similar case in the United States District Court involving a larger sum of money, but emphasizes that Johnson is suffering due to lack of shelter, food, and medical care. The author calls for a federal grand jury investigation into the actions of the Indian Bureau and the lawyer, Ed R. LeForce, involved in the case."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_16_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_16_0048_thumbnail.jpg "Letter to Senator Fred R.
