Description:

Representative Carl Albert spoke in support of a $64,000 item in the Interior Appropriation Bill for the Public Health Service Indian Hospital at Talihina, Oklahoma. The funds will be used for consolidating shop space and constructing a new incinerator. The hospital serves as a primary health resource for members of the Five Civilized Tribes of Indians in Southeastern Oklahoma and is in need of modernization and expansion to meet current program needs. The $64,000 is necessary for making some of the most needed improvements at the hospital, including the construction of the new incinerator and consolidation of shop space. Representative Albert hopes the funds will not be eliminated from the appropriation bill.
