There is concern about discrimination against those who are less than 1/2 blood quantum and efforts to deny them equal rights. The document requests intervention from Honorable Carl Albert and expresses gratitude for support in addressing this issue. There is also mention of a letter to Tribal Chairmen seeking recommendations for revising the Indian preference employment policy, based on a Solicitor's opinion. The importance of determining who qualifies as an Indian for employment preference is highlighted.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
