Mr. Franklin G. Hutchinson applied for a position within the Bureau of Indian Affairs and was not selected. He wrote to the Secretary of the Interior and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, expressing his disappointment and questioning the selection process. The Speaker and the Secretary responded, assuring Hutchinson that his request would be reviewed and his interests considered. The Department of the Interior is conducting a review of the selection procedures, and Hutchinson's case is being given proper attention. Hutchinson believes he should have been selected based on his qualifications and the Indian preference policy. The investigation is ongoing, and a decision will be communicated to Hutchinson once all facts have been reviewed.
