![["Non-Indian widows of deceased beneficiaries of the Indian Health Program who were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes can now receive medical services through the program on the same basis as other beneficiaries. This change in policy was announced by Congressman Carl Albert after he urged the Public Health Service to allow these widows to access hospital and medical care. The continuation of health services for non-Indian widows will be limited to those whose husbands were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes and who have not remarried."]](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_47_55_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Health%20Care,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_55_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Expansion of Medical Services for Non-Indian Widows of Five Civilized Tribes Members")

![["The document discusses proposed amendments to the United States Housing Act of 1937 submitted by the Indians of Western Oklahoma, aimed at allowing various Indian tribes to participate in the low-rent housing program. The Housing and Home Finance Agency is sympathetic but doubts the effectiveness of the proposed amendments in achieving this goal, as they may not provide the necessary governmental powers required for participation in the program. The document also highlights the lack of existing State legislation in Oklahoma to accommodate the creation of housing authorities for Indian Tribes. The document concludes by stating that further discussions and considerations may be necessary to address the housing needs of Indian tribal groups."]](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_47_56_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Housing,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_56_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Expanding Low-Rent Housing Program for Indian Tribes in Oklahoma")
