![["The document discusses the selection of a Governor for the Chickasaw Nation and the process by which the Governor is appointed rather than elected. It mentions the reappointment of Mr. Floyd E. Maytubby as Governor and acknowledges a letter from Honorable Carl Albert expressing interest in allowing the Chickasaw Tribe to select their Governor by popular election. The Bureau of Indian Affairs states that the matter is under study and no final determination has been made yet."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_22_11_0000%20--%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%201955/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_22_11_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Chickasaw Nation Governor Selection Process")
