![["Mr. Charles E. Black wrote a letter to Senator Dewey F. Bartlett regarding his concerns about discrimination at the Chilocco Indian School, where he is employed. He expressed frustration about rent increases, lack of maintenance, and security issues at the school. He also raised concerns about President Carter's Civil Service reform legislation potentially impacting veterans' preference in federal employment. Senator Bartlett acknowledged Mr. Black's concerns and promised to investigate the housing situation at Chilocco and consider his views on veterans' benefits in his analysis of the legislation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_33_5_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Housing,%201973%20Mar/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_5_0018_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns of Charles E.
