Opposition to H.R. 5592: Protecting Osage Tribal Mineral Rights and Land1979-01-01unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_109_7_59_24_005The Osage Tribal Council is opposed to Bill H.R. 5592, which aims to establish the Tallgrass Carl Albert Prairie National Reserve, as it would take away valuable grazing land and mineral rights owned by the tribe. They argue that the land was purchased by the Osage Nation in fee simple title and should not be subject to the discretionary powers of the Secretary of the Interior. The tribe is requesting the opportunity to be heard in opposition to the bill and is asking for support from United States Senators and Congressmen to defeat it.
