Schwabe provides information on the Act passed by Congress, including a provision for $35,000,000 for planning projects, with an estimated $500,000 for the State of Oklahoma. Schwabe also mentions sending a letter to mayors and city commissioners in Oklahoma's First Congressional District on the same subject.
