The text contains a letter from the Taos Pueblo Council to Representative John W. Happy Camp, in which the Council asks Camp to support their bill (H.R. 471) in the present Congress. The Council explains that the bill would grant the Pueblo a trust title to approximately 48,000 acres of land, and that the issue has been debated in previous Congresses without success. The Council hopes that Camp will be able to familiarize himself with the existing record on the issue and support the bill in the current Congress.
