![["Congressman Carl Albert will introduce legislation during the first session of the 54th Congress to extend restrictions on Indians of the Five Civilized Tribes of one-half or more Indian blood. The bill aims to protect restricted Indians from the sale, lease, or encumbrance of their lands and has received support from various tribes and organizations. The Congressman emphasizes the importance of passing the legislation before the current law expires in order to prevent difficulties in the future. The bill will not change current laws regarding the removal of restrictions."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Speeches%20and%20Press%20Releases,%201927-1976%20-%20CAC_CC_001_16_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_001_16_8_153_0000-News%20Releases-Indian%20Affairs.,%201967/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_16_8_153_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Exceptional Achievement: Wilma Louie Victor Receives Federal Woman's Award")
