Concerns Regarding Indian Preference Employment for Five Civilized Tribes of Eastern Oklahoma1976-03-10unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_001_4_140_39_0011The document is addressing a problem with defining "Indian" for purposes of Indian preference employment for the Five Civilized Tribes of Eastern Oklahoma. The Department of the Interior had initially suggested a one-quarter degree requirement, but a staff member from the American Policy Review Commission suggested a one-half degree requirement. The document requests that any rulemaking regarding the Tribes be postponed and suggests including an exception for the Tribes in the new regulation. It also mentions a similar alternative proposed by the Solicitor General's office. The Speaker asks for consideration of these suggestions to avoid disruption for the Tribes.
