The text contains a letter expressing support for H.R. 471, a bill that would return land to the Taos Pueblo Indians of New Mexico. The land in question is the Blue Lake area, which is considered the Indians' church. The letter argues that the return of the land would cost the government nothing and would only serve to embarrass the government if the principles of freedom of worship are not upheld.
