Item — Box: DP 82, Folder: 55

Identifier: CAC_CC_001_4_82_55_0004

Scope and Contents

The document discusses a proposed reorganization of the Indian Bureau by Commissioner Bruce, including transferring Virgil Harrington and rotating managers every two to five years. The Bureau aims to strengthen Agency offices and change the title of top agency man to Field Administrator. There is concern about regionalizing educational activities and engineering functions, moving them further from the Indians. Nine tribal officers oppose the proposal, and Ed Edmondson's Committee may investigate the policy changes.
