![["Amos Hopkins wrote to inquire about certification of entitlement to public domain Indian land. The Bureau of Indian Affairs delegated the authority to issue Certificates of Eligibility to the Anadarko Area Director, who considers applications on an individual basis. The Bureau of Land Management does not maintain a list of public domain lands, so it is the responsibility of the applicant to locate suitable land. The Kiowa Land Association's list of member-applicants cannot be considered a blanket application, and each member must apply individually. Senator Mike Monroney forwarded Hopkins' concerns to the Bureau, and they assured that applications will be duly considered. The Kiowa Tribal Land Association requested assistance in obtaining Certificates of Eligibility, citing discrepancies in the Bureau's actions and requesting an investigation into Indian Bureau policies."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_32_20_0000-Interior,%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Indians,%20G-L,%201963/CAC_CC_038_8_32_20_0034.pdf "Correspondence Regarding Certification of Entitlement to Public Domain Indian Land")
