Funding and Contract Negotiations for United Indian Tribes of Western Oklahoma and Kansas

Correspondence from James R. Jones to Lee Motah, the president of the United Indian Tribes of Western Oklahoma. Jones enclosed a letter he received from Sid Carney, the director of the Anadarko Area Office for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, in response to an inquiry made by Jones on behalf of Motah and the Tribes. Jones believes the information provided by Carney will be helpful and offers further assistance if needed. The second letter is from Carney to Jones. Carney informs Jones that they have had contracts with Motah's organization during fiscal year 1973 and provides details of those contracts. He explains that they are unable to renew some of the contracts due to reduced funds for fiscal year 1974, but may be able to renegotiate if additional funds are allocated. Motah also submitted contracts for fiscal year 1974, which Carney acknowledges and states will be considered.
