Description
This letter dated January 20, 1950, from United States (US) Representative Usher Burdick to Turtle Mountain Consolidated Agency Superintendent C. H. Beitzel, follows up on their previous correspondence about the need for surplus food at the Turtle Mountain Reservation. Burdick notes that he has included a copy of the response he received from the United States Department of Agriculture. The original resolution from the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa is also attached.
The letter from the Department of Agriculture is written by Assistant Administrator John I.

Thompson also notes that some of the commodities asked for in the resolution are not food products that the Department of Agriculture collects as surplus.
