![["The document acknowledges receipt of Mr. Fletcher's inquiries regarding Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians. It clarifies that only heirs of deceased enrollees and those listed on the 1906 rolls will receive payments from the sale of coal and asphalt lands. The regulations on absentee voting are still being finalized. The document also addresses questions about a woman who was married to an Indian man and later divorced, stating that her divorce does not affect her eligibility for payments. Lastly, the letter raises concerns about the treatment of Native Americans in comparison to foreign aid and requests information on divorce and annulment."]](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_1_98_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Tribal%20Government,%20CoalAsphaltOil,%201947/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_1_98_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Inquiry Regarding Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians Land Payments and Absentee Voting")
