The author says that the Senate has appointed conferees to negotiate the bill, but that the House has not yet done so. The author urges the reader to call the Senate conferees and stress the importance of keeping the tribe's mineral rights, as giving them up would impede the tribe's development."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_026_1_80_14_0004.jpg "Letter: Fred Harris to a member of the Cherokee Nation, thanking them for their testimony in support of a bill that would provide for the US to hold certain lands in trust for the Cherokee Nation.")

The land was originally part of the Cherokee Outlet which the federal government bought from the Cherokee Nation in 1893. The bill would allow the Cherokee Nation to use the land for farming and grazing purposes. The Bureau of the Budget has advised that the bill be amended to include provisions for transfer or disposal of the land in accordance with the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_026_1_80_14_0005.jpg "Letters on Behalf of the Cherokee Nation")

Pierce explains that the Cherokee people desperately need the property and have been without its use for many years. He says that they would be willing to accept less than the full value of the property if it is not possible to obtain it all. Pierce also discusses the loss of the mineral rights to the property, saying that it is a difficult concession to make but that the Cherokee people are willing to accept it if it means they can keep the property."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_026_1_80_14_0006.jpg "The Senate and House Disagree on the Chilocco Bill")
