Gustavus Adolphus College St. Peter, Minnesota October 16, 1949 and 20/49 HAR President Truman White House Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. President; It has been brought to my attention that at this moment there is on your desk the Navajo Hopi Rehabilitation Bill, S. 1407. I understand riders have been added to Section 9 of this Bill known as the Social Security and Law and Order Clauses, which open up the possibility of the loss of civil and economic rights for these groups. Having many Indian friends, and realizing some of the difficulties they already live under, I am concerned with the welfare of the Indian and feel that it is desirable that you veto the Bill and send a strong message to the Congress asking that the Bill be passed again without these riders. I sincerely hope that you will consider the welfare of all those Indians whose rights are at stake, and act in that way which we feel is only right. Yours respectfully, Mayout Burry Berry
