Request for Modification of Indian Preference Eligibility Standard, 1976-01-01 - 1976-12-31

The document is a request to the United States Civil Service Commission to consider changing the definition of "Indian" for the purpose of employment preference in the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The request is based on discrepancies between the current definition and statutory definitions, as well as legal cases challenging the existing criteria. The goal is to align the appointment authority with the statutory definition to ensure fair treatment of individuals of Indian descent.
