Description
This letter, dated May 16, 1956, from United States (US) Representative Usher Burdick to Three Affiliated Tribes member Ben (B. J.) Youngbird responds to Youngbird's letter regarding per capita payments. Burdick informs Youngbird that nobody at the US Bureau of Indian Affairs has any information about a commitment made regarding $200 per capita payments. Burdick says that he is sending a copy of the report on the bill (presumably US Senate Bill 2151 (S. 2151)). He says that he does not have any extra copies of the Congressional Record prior to May 17.
