![["The bill aims to provide relief to the State of Oklahoma by authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay $656,500 to the State Highway Commission for highway projects in the Grand River Dam Reservoir area. This payment is intended to settle all claims against the United States related to an agreement made with the Work Projects Administration, which was not fully carried out due to the United States' participation in World War II and the abolishment of the Work Projects Administration."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/82nd%20Congress,%201951-1953-CAC_CC_047_3_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_047_3_27_35_0000-Flood%20Control,%201952/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_3_27_35_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Bill for the Relief of Oklahoma: Settlement for Highway Projects")
![["The Yakima Indians have fishing rights at Celilo Falls in the Columbia River that were guaranteed in a treaty with the United States in 1855. These rights are important to their culture, economy, and religion. The construction of the Dalles Dam threatens to flood out Celilo Falls and destroy the Yakima's fishing locations. The Yakima Nation has legal and moral rights to preserve their fishing locations, and the dam should be eliminated from the hydro-electric development program. The dam is considered necessary for power generation in the region, but the Yakima argue that there are alternative solutions to prevent power shortages without infringing on their rights."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/82nd%20Congress,%201951-1953-CAC_CC_047_3_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_047_3_27_38_0000-Flood%20Control,%201952/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_3_27_38_0002_thumbnail.jpg "The Battle for Celilo Falls: Yakima Indians Fight to Save Their Fishing Rights")
![["The document is a letter from George B. Schwabe, a congressman, thanking Frank Lou Jr. for his letter advocating for flood prevention by stopping water where it falls instead of building large dams. Schwabe agrees with Lou's ideas and believes that this method of flood prevention is more effective and less expensive. He hopes that legislators will consider this approach when voting on flood control measures."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/82nd%20Congress,%201951-1953-CAC_CC_047_3_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_047_3_27_36_0000-Flood%20Control,%201952/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_3_27_36_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Advocating for Flood Prevention: A Letter to Representative George B.

![["The document is written by Ralph I Bayle to Representative Schwake concerning the proposed Tuttle Creek dam in Kansas. Bayle argues against the dam, stating that it would take out valuable farmland and would not effectively control floods in the area. He urges for a new flood control program that considers the entire watershed of the Kansas River."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/82nd%20Congress,%201951-1953-CAC_CC_047_3_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_047_3_27_36_0000-Flood%20Control,%201952/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_3_27_36_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns Regarding the Tuttle Creek Dam: A Plea for Reevaluation")
