![["The document discusses the historical context of preferential hiring and promotion for Indian people in the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service. It highlights the conflict between non-Indian employees reaching a career dead-end and qualified Indian individuals waiting for promotional opportunities. To address this issue, a bill is introduced to revise retirement benefits for non-Indian employees, allowing them to retire earlier and creating more opportunities for qualified Indians to advance in their careers. The bill also outlines specific amendments to existing laws to support this initiative."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_8_61_29_0000-Tulsa%20Office%20Files,%20Indians,%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%201974,%201976/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_8_61_29_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Legislation for Promotional Equity: The Retirement Benefits Act")
