![["The document from Mr. Osby Williams to Congressman Carl Albert inquires about possible Federal payments to the Choctaw Indians and the building and improving of Indian reservation roads. Congressman Albert responds by stating that there will likely be no payment to the Choctaw Indians this year due to the termination of trusteeship over Choctaw lands. He also explains that the funds for Indian road projects come from the U.S. Treasury through general taxation and are not related to the sale of Indian lands. Congressman Albert assures Mr. Williams that he is happy to assist with any further questions he may have."]](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_53_0000-Interior-Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs-Choctaw,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_53_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Federal Payments and Indian Reservation Roads: Correspondence with Mr. Osby Williams, January 10, 1964")
![["The Bureau of Indian Affairs received a letter from Congressman Tom Steed regarding the investment of tribal funds in Wewoka Plastics, Inc. The company is in need of working capital and the Bureau proposed a $20,000 investment from the tribe, with the community matching this amount. However, they also required certain measures to be taken, such as a moratorium on a local development company loan and an audit of company records. The Bureau expressed concerns about the company's profitability and urged for an independent audit before further investments. Congressman Steed and Commissioner Nash are working together to find alternatives to support the economy of the Seminole Tribe."]](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_62_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Seminole,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_62_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Indian Affairs and Economic Development in Oklahoma: A Congressional Correspondence")
![["Various members of the House of Representatives, including Wright Patman, Clarence E. Kilburn, and Albert Rains, are discussing proposed changes to the Housing Act of 1937 to allow Indian tribes in Oklahoma to participate in the low-rent housing program. The Governor of the Chickasaw Nation has recommended amendments to the act to eliminate discrimination against Oklahoma Indian Tribes. President Lyndon Johnson has also proposed expanding housing aid for low-income families as part of a campaign against poverty. The Task Force on Indian Affairs has recommended allowing Indian tribes to establish housing agencies and participate in the program. The current limitations on participation by Indian tribes in Oklahoma are seen as frustrating and unfair."]](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_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Proposal for Indian Tribe Participation in Low-Rent Housing Program")
![["Chief Solomon Homer inquired about the possibility of obtaining a medical doctor to treat Indians in Choctaw county, but Dr. McBrayer stated there may not be enough work to justify a full-time physician. Dr. McBrayer suggested exploring the possibility of obtaining the services of a contract doctor in Hugo for emergency cases. The Indian Health Area Office in Oklahoma City also proposed increasing health services at Antlers and extending them to residents of surrounding areas. The overall challenge is providing medical services in an economically depressed area with busy physicians."]](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_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Improving Healthcare Access for Indians in Choctaw County")
