Scope and Contents

Correspondence that discusses legislation that will provide $7.4 million in compensation to the Osage Indian Tribe of Oklahoma for the flooding of their land by a water project. The bill recognizes the tribes authority to administer their mineral estate and their agreement with the Corps of Engineers for compensation. The flooding of the land is necessary for the construction of the Skiatook Dam, which is part of a flood control project. The Osage Tribes mineral interests in the land have been a significant source of oil and gas for the United States. The cost of the compensation will be covered by funds authorized for the Corps of Engineers.
