Miss Lavinia Alberson is inquiring about the proposed sale of coal and asphalt lands of the Chickasaw and Choctaw Tribes, wondering if she will be entitled to receive any money as her father was a Chickasaw Freedman. She is seeking assistance in getting on the list to receive compensation from the government for freedmen. Congressman Carl Albert responds, stating that only members enrolled under a specific date and heirs of deceased enrollees will be entitled to receive payment. He offers further assistance if needed.
