![["The document describes a bill that would allow the Cherokee Nation to purchase back 2,667.94 acres of land from the United States government for $3.75 per acre. 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")
