![["The letter is addressed to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs and the Subcommittee on Indian Affairs, advocating for the early retirement of non-Indian Civil Service employees from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The letter argues that this would advance Indian self-determination, address injustices faced by non-Indian employees, and improve morale within the organization. It also includes a list of signatures from current Bureau of Indian Affairs employees in support of the proposed early retirement option."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_20_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20General%20Correspondence,%201969-1974/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_20_0003_thumbnail.jpg "\"Letter to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs Requesting Consideration of HR 17288 for Early Retirement of Non-Indian Civil Service Employees\"")
![["The Cherokee tribe owns a section of the Arkansas River in Oklahoma that has been appraised at $15 million. The ownership of the river bed is in dispute and is the subject of litigation. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the tribes in 1970, but the matter still needs to be resolved by Congress. The appraisal includes land beneath the water, sand, gravel, and mineral resources. The Corps of Engineers is involved in the Arkansas River navigation project, which is also part of the dispute. The Cherokee tribe should be compensated for their river property according to their attorney."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201946%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201946-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Cherokee Tribe's $15 Million River Land Valuation")

![["The letter is seeking support for an amendment to the Public Health Service Act to assist the Indian Health Service in recruiting physicians. The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs believes that allowing the Indian Health Service to contract with private recruitment firms will help address the shortage of health professionals in the Service. The proposed amendment is technical in nature and aims to remove legal impediments to recruitment efforts. The letter urges the Subcommittee on Health to approve the amendment for the benefit of Indian health programs."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_11_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Health,%201973%20Feb.%20-%201978%20Sep.,%201973-1978_2-32-10/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_10_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Request for Amendment to the Public Health Service Act to Improve Indian Health Services Recruitment")
