![["The document contains a letter from GBP to W.W. Keeler, discussing the Chilocco Bill. The bill would give the Cherokee Nation title to a piece of extra-territorial land, and the Senate Sub-Committee Report of August 21, 1967 noted that the land is located many miles away from other lands of the Cherokee Nation. GBP informs Keeler that their delegation did a good job in convincing their colleagues of the merit of the bill, and that they are already working on steps for future use of the land."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_13_0061_thumbnail.jpg "Meeting Notes: Plant Design & Construction Proposal")

The author says that the Senate has appointed conferees to negotiate the bill, but that the House has not yet done so.
