The letter is from a concerned individual expressing their belief that Indian students are receiving special treatment in education and housing. They question the $2.30 minimum wage paid to Indian students in a vocational technical program and the provision of free housing, food stamps, and healthcare. The writer believes in equal opportunities for all citizens and requests that Indians be treated the same as other taxpaying Americans. The response from Senator Dewey F. Bartlett explains that any special treatment for Indians is due to historical and legal obligations of the Federal government.
