- Description:
- Honorable Carl Albert from Oklahoma is testifying in support of H.R. 5860, a bill to amend the law relating to the final disposition of Choctaw Tribe property. He emphasizes the importance of the bill for his constituents and urges the Committee to order it reported. The bill would extend provisions of a previous act for five years to resolve legal issues surrounding Choctaw lands. Failure to pass the bill could result in forfeiture of mineral interests in tribal lands, which would be unjust. Albert urges the Committee to support the legislation.
