- Description:
- The document discusses the history and significance of an appropriation bill to pay the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes for their segregated coal and asphalt lands. It highlights the treaties and agreements made between the tribes and the US government, dating back to the 1800s. The appropriation is not a bonus but a sale based on a mutually agreed upon price, and it acknowledges the long history of negotiations between the tribes and the government.
