![["The document consists of a series of letters regarding non-payment for medical services rendered to Indian patients referred by the Pawnee Indian Health Service Hospital. Dr. Tim K. Smalley and Dr. Sam L. Earnest have requested assistance from Senator Dewey F. Bartlett in getting payment for services provided. The issue was due to lack of communication between the Indian Health Service and consultants like Dr. Smalley. The Indian Health Service has now authorized payment for outstanding obligations to Dr. Smalley. Senator Bartlett has been actively involved in resolving the issue and ensuring prompt payment for the services rendered."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_003_2_32_11_0013.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Unpaid Medical Services for Pawnee Indian Health Service Patients")
