- Description:
- The document from Senator Dewey F. Bartlett to Bob R. Berry addresses concerns about Federal programs in Eastern Oklahoma that may be causing individuals to quit their jobs in order to be eligible for low income Indian housing. Senator Bartlett expresses hope that new policies will provide incentive for the disadvantaged to earn income. Additionally, Bob R. Berry raises concerns about employees quitting their jobs to receive government benefits, as well as wasteful government programs such as the tomato growing project in Tahlequah. Berry urges support for cutting out wasteful programs and addressing issues that frustrate taxpayers.
