![["The United Indian Tribes of Western Oklahoma and Kansas sent a letter to President Nixon on May 4, 1973, expressing their opposition to the Impact Aid Bill, which would reduce funding for Indian reservation schools. They requested the President to cancel the bill as it would negatively impact the education of Indian children. The document included Resolution No. 17, adopted at a meeting on April 28, 1973, supporting the cancellation of the bill. The resolution highlighted the importance of the impact aid funds for Indian populated schools and urged the President to reconsider the proposed revisions to the bill. The document was signed by Lee Motah, President of the United Indian Tribes of Western Oklahoma and Kansas."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_003_2_30_5_0007.jpg "Resolution No. 17: Opposition to Impact Aid Bill")

Additionally, there is a request for clarification on whether HUD can conduct audits or allow independent firms to do so for the Apache Tribe of Indians in Oklahoma."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_003_2_33_2_0024.jpg "Audit Request and Indian Housing Authorities: Correspondence with Senator Bartlett")
![["Senator Dewey F. Bartlett writes to Secretary Carla Hills of the Housing and Urban Development department regarding concerns raised by Oklahoma Indian Housing Authorities during recent field hearings.

![["The Housing Authority of the Chickasaw Nation is expressing concerns about delays and problems in the Indian housing program, specifically related to the application process and approval requirements set by HUD. They feel that the focus should be on expediting the process to provide safe and decent housing for deserving families, rather than on administrative issues. They also highlight the negative impact of new requirements in the Mutual-Help Handbook, which they believe will further delay the delivery of housing. The authority outlines specific problems and delays in the current system in Oklahoma and expresses frustration with the lack of consideration for tribal needs in the application process. They also detail the difficulties faced in the approval process and negotiation of prices for housing units. Overall, they are advocating for a more efficient and streamlined approach to providing Indian housing."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_003_2_33_2_0029.jpg "Report on Indian Housing: Challenges and Solutions")
