![["Sen. Dewey Bartlett is pushing for a bill to increase the federal estate tax exemption from $60,000 to $125,000 to help individuals offset inflation and avoid selling family enterprises to pay estate taxes. Hearings are scheduled to gather information on Indian housing needs, with a focus on transferring agricultural lands from father to son. The presence of a Russian missile base in Berbera, Somalia, is causing concern, and a July 4 patriotic event is planned by the Tulsa County Republican Committee. Gov. David Boren's comments about his political future, including a possible run against Bartlett in 1978, have sparked speculation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_33_1_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Housing,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_1_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Senate Hearings Set for Estate Tax Exemption Increase Bill")
