A letter from Page Belcher, a member of the House of Representatives, is sent to the Commissioner of the Bureau of Indian Affairs requesting an investigation into a communication regarding the Comanche constitution vote scheduled for November 29. The Association on American Indian Affairs urges a reconsideration of the vote and states that there is confusion among the Comanche people regarding the issues involved in the separation. They request a postponement of the vote until after the December tribal election and offer to collaborate with local organizations for voter education.
