Scope and Contents

The text is a mailgram sent on behalf of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma to Senators Donald L. Nickles and David L. Boren. It addresses the difficulties the tribe has faced in qualifying for the USDA Food Distribution Program due to the definition of "reservation" and the burden of proof required for Oklahoma tribes compared to other federally recognized tribes. The mailgram urges the senators to address these issues in the conference committee to ensure equal eligibility for Oklahoma tribes in the program.
