- Description:
- The article discusses the possibility of Bruce Townsend, an Oklahoma lawyer and chairman of the Delaware Tribal Business Council, being appointed as the new Commissioner of Indian Affairs. It cites his political credentials as a lifelong Republican and his experience with various party offices. However, it also notes that Sen. Henry Bellmon, R-Okla., has not been made aware of the situation and that it is unclear if Townsend is the administration's preferred candidate.
