The document is a letter written by Senator James Abourezk and Congressman Lloyd Meeds regarding the American Indian Policy Review Commission and the Department of the Interior's proposal to amend Indian preference regulations. They clarify that the legal opinions of Karl Funke, a specialist, were not representative of the Commission's official position. The letter addresses concerns about eligibility for Indian preference, particularly for Oklahoma tribes, and requests clarification from the Department of the Interior and Civil Service Commission. The document also discusses potential changes to Indian preference rules in hiring within the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which may impact tribes in Oklahoma.
