- Description:
- The letter is in response to a communication from Senator Monroney regarding Amos A. Hopkins' questions about land allotment. The Bureau of Land Management explains that public lands have been withdrawn from settlement and entry under the Indian Allotment Act, and applicants must file an application to have lands classified as available for allotment. The letter provides answers to Hopkins' specific questions and states that very few allotments on public lands have been approved in recent years. The Bureau offers assistance in locating suitable land for allotment.
