![["Mrs. Celia Kaluzniak wrote to Carl Albert, a member of the House of Representatives, regarding the slow payment to the Choctaws and Chickasaws for coal and asphalt lands they sold to the government.

Kaluzniak also raised questions about per capita payments for Indians in Atoka and Push counties, and requested clarification on funds from a lawsuit."]](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_77_0000-(21)%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Choctaw%20and%20Chickasaw%20Indians,%201949/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_6_77_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Payment to Choctaws and Chickasaws for Land Sold to the Government")
