![["The document is a thank you note from Congressman James R. Jones to Mr. Sherman Woods for his letter regarding non-essential Federal expenditures. Jones expresses agreement with the need to eliminate unnecessary spending and states that he has supported budget-cutting initiatives in Congress. Woods encourages Jones to continue setting an example of fiscal responsibility in government and to stop wasteful spending practices. Woods emphasizes the importance of government officials remembering where the money comes from and suggests that a \"day's pay for a day's work\" motto should be implemented in Washington."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/James%20R.%20Jones%20Collection/James%20R.%20Jones%20Correspondence%20Series,%201968-1986%20/CAC_CC_109_4_22_1_0000-District%20Office,%20Jones%20Clippings,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_109_4_22_36_0012_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence on Federal Spending and Fiscal Responsibility between Congressman James R.

![["The United States Department of the Interior is requesting a modification in the definition of \"Indian\" for the purpose of implementing a preference in employment of Indians. The current definition of one-quarter degree Indian ancestry for eligibility for preference in the Bureau of Indian Affairs does not align with the statutory definition of \"Indian\" in the Indian Reorganization Act. The request is to harmonize the appointment authority with the statutory definition to ensure fair treatment and uphold the rights conferred by law. The proposed modification would expand the definition of \"Indian\" to include members of recognized tribes under federal jurisdiction or descendants of tribe members. This change aims to address inconsistencies in tribal membership standards and ensure equal treatment for all individuals of Indian descent."]](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_140_39_0000%20--%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Indian%20Preference,%201976/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_140_39_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Request for Modification of Definition of Indian for Schedule A Excepted Appointment Authority in the Department of the Interior")
