The Wilcox Oil Company is seeking assistance from Congressman D'Ewart and Senator Monroney to address the problem and improve conditions at the agency. The documents highlight the frustration with the lack of cooperation and efficiency in the agency's processes and emphasize the importance of allowing oil and gas development on Indian lands for the benefit of the individuals and tribes involved.
