The letter is from the Osage Tribe of Indians to Speaker Carl Albert requesting assistance in resolving two pending matters with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Department of the Interior. The first issue is regarding the expenditure of education and socioeconomic funds, while the second issue concerns the certification of the tribe as a local government performing law enforcement functions. The tribe is seeking prompt action on these matters to ensure the funds are available for the upcoming school year and to settle the jurisdictional issue related to law enforcement on tribal reservations.
