Description:

The document from Carl Albert, a congressman from Oklahoma, expresses concerns about the appointment of Mr. Ellis as Executive Officer in the Public Health Service Indian Health Area Office in Oklahoma City. Indian leaders in the district are unhappy that someone from Alaska is being transferred in for the position, and they are requesting for the Executive Officer to be someone who is familiar and sympathetic with the Oklahoma Indian population. The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes also recommended that the Executive Officer be an Oklahoman. Congressman Albert suggests finding a well-qualified person who meets the criteria to avoid potential conflicts and ensure the success of the program.
