IN REPLY REFER TO: [[logo]] UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS WASHINGTON 25, D. C. July 28, 1950 Mr. John C. Rainer Executive Secretary National Congress of American Indians 618 Dupont Circle Building 1346 Connecticut Avenue, NW Washington 6, D. C. Dear Mr. Rainer: This will confirm our telephone conversation in response to your letter of July 21, with regard to the forthcoming Convention of the National Congress of American Indians. As indicated to you, I shall be delighted to attend. If it is satisfactory with you, I would like to have 20 or 30 minutes within which to address the group and tell them generally of my plans and policy with regard to Indian Affairs. I would then be willing to devote as much time as they wish to an open forum to answer any questions they may have. Incidentally, if Judge Johnson's invitation came into the office, I have not seen it, nor has anyone in my immediate office. With all good wishes, Sincerely yours, D. S. Myer Commissioner P. S. It is understood, of course, that I would be available preferably for the morning of the 29th, and will not be available any other day. D. S. M.
