- Description:
- A meeting was held to discuss the need for amendments to the Choctaw Termination Act of 1959. A list of changes was agreed upon, and legislation to amend the act and repeal it was proposed. The Bureau of Indian Affairs and Congressional offices were involved in working out the language of the legislation. A bill was introduced to complete the action for the Choctaw Tribe authorized by the Act of April 26, 1906. The bill includes provisions for selling lands and mineral rights, conveying lands to legal entities, and transferring lands for public use. Cases/Acts: Termination Act
