- Description:
- LeRoy Hampton wrote a letter to Senator Monroney regarding the allegedly illegal seizure of his property in Grady County. In Senator Monroney's absence, Jack Yocum, the Executive Secretary, requested additional information from Hampton including the legal description of the property, the name of the person or agency acquiring the property, and whether legal recourse had been pursued. Hampton detailed how his property was wrongfully taken from him through erroneous and fraudulent acts during his time as a disabled soldier. He requested action to recover his property and monetary compensation for lost oil, gas, minerals, and agricultural rentals.
