![["Levi Jones writes to Congressman George B. Schwabe inquiring about the progress of Bill H.R. 3203 to extend the life of the Indian Claims Commission for two years. Schwabe responds, stating that the bill will be considered shortly and expressing surprise that Jones had not approached him about introducing another bill. Jones expresses frustration with Oklahoma congressmen and senators for not addressing Indian affairs issues, and mentions difficulties in getting assistance due to political patronage in the Indian Service. Schwabe promises to keep Jones updated on the progress of the bill."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/82nd%20Congress,%201951-1953-CAC_CC_047_3_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_047_3_27_54_0000-Indians,%201951/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_3_27_54_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Concerns and Progress on Indian Claims Commission Bill H.R. 3203")
