The Choctaw Indians were given the opportunity to vote on a bill introduced by Congressman Carl Albert which would allow for the capitalization of treaty payments into a lump sum. If approved by a majority vote, funds would be distributed to enrolled Choctaws and their heirs. This bill is seen as a step towards settling all claims and obligations between the Choctaws and the United States Government.
