Description
This letter, dated March 20, 1956, from Three Affiliated Tribes Tribal Chairperson Martin Cross to United States (US) Representative Usher Burdick expresses satisfaction at the news that US Senate Bill 2151 (S. 2151) and US Senate Bill 1528 (S. 1528) passed the US Senate. Cross conveys the Tribal Council's displeasure at Burdick's support of an amendment allowing for a small per capita payment of $200 and urges Burdick to 'push this Bill through the House so fast that no one will have the pleasure of tearing it down."
