Oklahoma Lawmakers Advocate for Direct Appropriation to Cover Indian Loan Administration Costs, 1959-05-13

Scope and Contents

Senators Kerr and Monroney, along with Representative Edmondson, are urging the Senate Appropriations Committee to make a direct appropriation for administering loans to Indians by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. They argue that using appropriated loan funds for administrative costs has significantly reduced the principal available for loans, impacting Indian communities. They propose amending the appropriations bill to provide for administrative needs and replenish the funds that have been reduced.
