Bruton wrote to Senator Fred R. Harris asking for help with funding for her LPN training at El Reno Oo-Tech. She explained her financial difficulties due to a recent separation from her husband. Senator Harris's caseworker, Beth A. Wolf, responded, offering to send information from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, but also mentioning the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare as a possible source of educational aid. Additionally, a letter from Patrick Melendy to the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare discussed the proposal for an educational facility on the former Adair Air Force Station property in Oregon. The letter highlighted the importance of providing educational opportunities for Indian and Mexican-American citizens.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
