- The bill H.R. 4589 introduced in the House of Representatives in 1945 aims to provide homesteads in Oklahoma for veterans of World War II. It involves transferring land and equipment from the Oklahoma Ordnance Works to the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior for disposal to veterans for agricultural use. The bill also includes provisions for studying the land, acquiring additional lands, and constructing necessary facilities for irrigation and other purposes. Veterans who meet certain criteria are eligible to receive a parcel of land for cultivation under the Oklahoma Veterans Homestead Project.
