Bill for the Establishment of the Oklahoma Veterans Homestead Project, 1941-12-07

The document is a bill introduced by Mr. Schwabe of Oklahoma in 1945 to provide homesteads in Oklahoma for World War II veterans. The bill transfers land from the jurisdiction of the United States to the Secretary of the Interior for the purpose of creating the "Oklahoma Veterans Homestead Project". The Bureau of Reclamation is tasked with studying the land and determining its agricultural use, as well as acquiring additional land and constructing necessary facilities. Veterans who meet certain criteria are eligible to receive parcels of land for cultivation.
