The Secretary plans to propose changes to the preference eligibility requirements for Indians of the Five Civilized Tribes to align with legal standards, while also considering the impact on current Bureau employees and providing a temporary solution for descendants of closed tribes. The Secretary acknowledges the complexity of the issue and seeks approval from the Civil Service Commission for the proposed changes.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
