![["Miss Mansell received a letter from Congressman Carl Albert stating that he has received a petition opposing the extension of leasing the Choctaw and Chickasaw coal and asphalt lands. He assures her that he will resist any efforts to delay the matter and that the Interior Department plans to have a conference with tribal representatives to reach an agreement on the purchase price of the lands."]](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_3_0000%20-%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Tribal%20Government,%20CoalAsphaltOil%20(1),%201947/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_2_3_0021_thumbnail.jpg "Letter to Miss Mansell Regarding Opposition to Proposed Legislation on Choctaw and Chickesaw Land Leasing Extension")
![["Mrs. Elmira Mitchell wrote a letter to Congressman Carl Albert inquiring about payments to the Choctaws and Chickasaws for the sale of their coal and asphalt lands to the government. Congressman Albert responded by informing her that payments have already started and checks are being mailed as applications are received and checked, rather than alphabetically. He also provided information on how to obtain payment information for other enrollees. Congressman Albert offered further assistance if needed."]](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_6_75_0000-(19)%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Choctaw%20and%20Chickasaw%20Indians,%201949/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_6_75_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Payments to the Choctaws and Chickasaws for Coal and Asphalt Lands Sales")
![["The Secretary of the Interior is seeking input from Choctaw Tribal members regarding the office of Principal Chief. Some members believe the position is unnecessary and all tribal funds should be distributed equally, while others support re-appointing the current Chief or continuing the office after the incumbent's term ends. A ballot has been provided for members to express their preferences, including the option to suggest a specific person for the role. All ballots must be returned by July 31, 1952, to be counted."]](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_13_74_0000-Interior%20Choctaw%20Chief%20Election%20Constituent%20Concern%20with%20Method%20of%20Selection%201952/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_13_74_0046_thumbnail.jpg "Choctaw Tribal Members to Decide on Principal Chief Office: A Ballot for Preferences")
![["Chief Solomon Homer inquired about the possibility of obtaining a medical doctor to treat Indians in Choctaw county, but Dr. McBrayer stated there may not be enough work to justify a full-time physician. Dr. McBrayer suggested exploring the possibility of obtaining the services of a contract doctor in Hugo for emergency cases. The Indian Health Area Office in Oklahoma City also proposed increasing health services at Antlers and extending them to residents of surrounding areas. The overall challenge is providing medical services in an economically depressed area with busy physicians."]](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_47_55_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Health%20Care,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_55_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Improving Healthcare Access for Indians in Choctaw County")
