Staff Only

The writer is writing to Congressman James R. Jones about the issue of building a new hospital in Tulsa. The Oklahoma Health Planning Commission has rejected the proposal twice and it has been reduced to 294 beds. However, the writer argues that Tulsa already has between 1,000 and 1,200 unoccupied beds and the state has around 4,000 unused hospital beds. The writer also mentions that certain people from Tulsa have been trying to influence members of the legislature in Washington. The writer supports the idea that the matter should be settled by the state rather than Congress.
