![["The director of the OKC Urban Indian Health Project is requesting additional funding of $40,000 from the Indian Health Service to meet financial needs for the year. They had set goals and drafted a budget to stabilize the program financially and generate their own income. However, delays in generating income from third-party reimbursements and grants led to a financial shortfall. The director outlines their efforts to secure funding from various sources but acknowledges that some plans were beyond their control. Ultimately, they are requesting assistance from Senator Dewey F. Bartlett to secure the additional funds needed."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_003_2_32_11_0016.jpg "Struggles and Financial Needs of the OKC Urban Indian Health Project in 1977")
