Oklahoma Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Activity Summary in the 1st Congressional District, 1973-01-01 - 1973-12-31

Mrs. Alice R. Akin wrote a letter to Congressman James R. Jones expressing concerns about the United States Department of Agriculture's plan to place their office under the supervision of the State Department of Agriculture. She believes the new organizational plan for the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service should have an Area Office located in Oklahoma City due to the state's high livestock population, field force numbers, livestock shipping, transportation facilities, and number of livestock auction markets. Mrs. Akin requested Congressman Jones' assistance in influencing the location of the Area Office in Oklahoma. Congressman Jones' office responded, assuring Mrs. Akin that they would bring her concerns to his attention and work with Congressman John Jarman to help with the matter.
