![["The letter is in response to concerns raised by Mr. D. H. Dukes and other Indian citizens regarding coal and asphalt lands. The writer, Carl Albert, promises to push for a successful conclusion in negotiations between Tribal Officials and the Department of Interior. He mentions a bill introduced by Bill Stigler to extend lease terms, but states he will not support it unless the rights of the Indians are fully protected. Albert assures that he wants to see the coal mines continue operating but also insists on protecting the rights of the Indians. He appreciates the letter and welcomes further communication."]](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_2_4_0000%20-%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Tribal%20Government,%20CoalAsphaltOil%20(2),%201947/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_2_4_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence with Mr. D.

![["The letter is a response to Mr. T. H. Frazier and other Indian citizens regarding the coal and asphalt lands issue. The Tribal Officials and Department of Interior are having a meeting to come to an agreement. Bill Stigler has introduced a bill to extend lease terms, but it will not be pushed until negotiations are completed. The rights of the Indians are being protected, and the sender is willing to support the bill only if it does not affect the salability of the lands. The sender thanks Mr. Frazier for the letter and encourages further communication."]](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_2_4_0000%20-%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Tribal%20Government,%20CoalAsphaltOil%20(2),%201947/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_2_4_0015_thumbnail.jpg "Negotiations over Coal and Asphalt Land Leases: A 1947 Letter from Representative Carl Albert")
![["Mr. ALBERT is protesting a proposed budget cut of $3,856,000 for the education of Indians, which will have a significant impact on states with large Indian populations such as Oklahoma. He argues that education is crucial for the progress of Indian communities and criticizes the committee for singling out states like Oklahoma for budget cuts. The committee believes that states have an obligation to provide education for Indians and suggests that local communities should also contribute to funding."]](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_2_12_0000%20-%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Tribal%20Government,%20Education%20and%20Health,%201947/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_2_12_0028_thumbnail.jpg "Protesting Proposed Cuts to the Budget for the Education of Indians: A Speech by Mr. Albert")
