- Description:
- Mr. Ben Frazier wrote a letter to Congressman Carl Albert regarding the payment to members of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations for the sale of their coal lands to the government. Congressman Albert responded that a bill appropriating $8,500,000 for payment was signed into law and checks will be mailed out to living enrolled members in about sixty days. Payment to deceased members' heirs will require proof of heirship and notices will be sent out for completion. All payments are expected to be made before notices are sent out to heirs.
