![["Congressman Harold T. Johnson responds to a letter from Rufus O'Neal of the Pit River Tribal Council regarding the dissatisfaction of the Pit River Indians with the distribution of a $29,000,000 judgment. Johnson explains that the matter is closed as the judgment is final and not subject to appeal. He suggests continuing negotiations with the Bureau of Indian Affairs or the Secretary of the Interior for a solution to the land problem, rather than pursuing legislative action. Johnson emphasizes the need for the Pit River Indians to abide by the final decision made by the Indian Claims Commission and Congress."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Pit%20River%20Indians%20Correspondence,%20Injunction,%20Background,%201969-1970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Congressman Harold T.
