![["Senator Elmer Thomas acknowledges receipt of a letter from Senator Joseph O'Mahoney regarding a bill, S. 2593, related to the Choctaw Nation of Indians in Oklahoma. The Secretary of the Interior recommends two clarifying amendments to the bill, which would authorize the commutation of annual appropriations for fulfilling treaties with the Choctaw Nation. The Chief of the Choctaw Nation supports the bill, as it aligns with the tribe's desire for a lump sum payment of tribal properties. The Secretary of the Interior suggests amendments to clarify the approval process for the commutation by the Choctaw Nation members. The Bureau of the Budget has no objection to the report being submitted to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20William%20Elmer%20Thomas%20Collection/CAC_CC_053_3_82_58_0000-Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Committee%20on,%20Indian%20Affairs,%20Choctaw%20Appropriation,%201949,%201950/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_053_3_82_58_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Recommendations for Amendments to S. 2593: A Letter to Senator Elmer Thomas")
