- Description:
- The letter is a plea for assistance from Senator Dewey Bartlett to help Dr. Visitacion Ramirez, a physician from the Philippines, obtain a working visa to stay at Claremore Indian Hospital in Oklahoma. Dr. Ramirez is well-liked by patients and the community, and her services are greatly needed. The letter explains the difficulties in obtaining the visa and emphasizes the importance of retaining Dr. Ramirez's services due to the shortage of physicians in the Indian Health Service. Immediate action is requested to secure the visa for Dr. Ramirez before she is forced to accept a position in Louisiana.
