![["The Indian Health Service (IHS) responds to a Government Accounting Office report on research and sterilization, stating that they find the report fair and have implemented many of the recommendations. The IHS denies allegations of improper sterilization of Indian men and women, stating that reliable national statistics are not available for comparison. They also address specific allegations of sterilizations performed without consent or on minors, stating that many procedures were for legitimate medical reasons. The IHS refutes claims of using Indians as medical guinea pigs and violating federal safeguards. They also address concerns about patient consent forms and violations of court orders regarding sterilizations."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_36_9_0000-Indian%20Sterilization%20-%20subject%20-%20Bartlett/thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_36_9_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Indian Health Service Response to Government Accounting Office Report on Research and Sterilization")
