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 would be used for consolidating shop space and constructing a new incinerator. The hospital serves members of the Five Civilized Tribes of Indians in Southeastern Oklahoma and is in need of modernization and expansion to meet program needs. The $64,000 would enable some necessary improvements to be made, including the construction of the incinerator and consolidation of shop space. Representative Albert emphasized the importance of this funding for the hospital to continue functioning effectively.
