Mr. Barnett Crawford writes to Congressman Carl Albert requesting that per capita payments to members of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations be expedited, as many people are in need of the money. Albert responds, informing Crawford that an appropriation bill has been passed for the payments and assures him that the Bureau of Indian Affairs will make the payments as quickly as possible. Crawford expresses gratitude for the information and urges for early action due to their desperate financial circumstances.
