![["A call was received from George Pearson regarding a meat packing company in Arizona that supplies meat to the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The meat is not graded for quality and Senator has requested an investigation into the purchasing process and grading requirements. It is important to be cautious in the investigation to avoid any trouble for Mr. Pearson. The BIA is required to follow specific procurement specifications for meat, including USDA inspection regulations and humane slaughter guidelines. A follow-up call is requested with Mr. Pearson."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_197_3_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%20Indian%20Schools,%201970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_197_3_003_thumbnail.jpg "Senate Memorandum on Quality Concerns of Meat Purchased by the Bureau of Indian Affairs")
