![["The Cherokee Nation is requesting Senator Monroney's assistance in passing a bill that would allow them to buy back excess school lands at Chalaco from the government. They are moving quickly to select qualified Cherokees to take over the land, with leases expiring soon. The Cherokee Nation believes this bill would be a significant and positive act by the Federal Government in their dealings with the Cherokee people. They are urging Senator Monroney to support and help pass the bill during the current session of Congress."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_32_21_0000-Interior,%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Indians,%20M-R,%201963/CAC_CC_038_8_32_21_0024.pdf "Cherokee Nation's Efforts to Reclaim School Lands: Correspondence from 1963")
