Letter from Congressman Ted Risenhoover That Pressured A State Agency to Approve The Application. Jones Believes It Is Not Appropriate for A Federal official to Dictate A State Agency's Decision

The author of the letter, James Ares R. Jones, is responding to comments about the City of Faith. He explains that he did not oppose the proposal, but chose not to sign a letter from Congressman Ted Risenhoover that pressured a state agency to approve the application. Jones believes it is not appropriate for a federal official to dictate a state agency's decision. He mentions that Dr. Oral Roberts agrees with his position and believes that if it is Gods will, the hospital will be built. The recipient of the letter, Mr. Forrest LaRue, is supportive of Jones stance on the City of Faith and does not believe the delegation should get involved.
