![["The document discusses the selection of a Governor for the Chickasaw Nation and the process by which the Governor is appointed rather than elected. It mentions the reappointment of Mr. Floyd E. Maytubby as Governor and acknowledges a letter from Honorable Carl Albert expressing interest in allowing the Chickasaw Tribe to select their Governor by popular election. The Bureau of Indian Affairs states that the matter is under study and no final determination has been made yet."]](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_22_11_0000%20--%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%201955/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_22_11_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Chickasaw Nation Governor Selection Process")

![["The Bureau of Indian Affairs is considering a proposal for a national advisory committee by the National Congress of American Indians. The Bureau is exploring the idea of having members of the advisory committee elected by tribal representatives from different regions. Regional meetings with Indian people are planned for late summer and early fall to discuss the proposal further. Senator Harris's interest in the matter is appreciated."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_12_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_12_0030_thumbnail.jpg "Advancing Native Health: Report from the Second Annual American Indian Institute Conference")
