- Description:
- The Chamber of Commerce in Okmulgee, Oklahoma is requesting Senator Elmer Thomas to reconsider the location of an Indian institution, specifically a hospital, in Okmulgee. They argue that Okmulgee has a historical background and significance to the Indian population, and should be considered for such an institution. Senator Thomas responds that the site for the hospital has already been selected for Tahlequah, but acknowledges Okmulgee as a potential location for future consideration. The Chamber of Commerce expresses their appreciation for the response and hopes for further communication on the matter.
