- Description:
- The document is from Robert Goombi to Page Belcher, expressing opposition to the proposed transfer of the Indian Service Extension Department to the State Extension Service. Goombi lists reasons why the transfer would be detrimental to the Indian community, emphasizing the important work done by the current extension workers in aiding Indian farmers and providing support to the community. Goombi also highlights the potential negative impact of granting contracts to outside contractors for road projects, which could result in job loss for Indian workers. Goombi urges Belcher to oppose the transfer and advocate for the continuation of the current extension services.
