- Description:
- Mrs. Sarah E. Basden wrote to Congressman Carl Albert inquiring about a rumor that the United States Government is making final payments to all American people with Indian blood, regardless of enrollment. Congressman Albert responds, stating that there is no truth to the rumor and that possession of Indian blood does not automatically entitle one to benefits. He offers to assist Mrs. Basden in determining her tribal affiliation and clarifies that each tribe has its own enrollment qualifications.
