Description

This group of four letters, dated June 22, 1949 and identical in their text except for addressee, from United States (US) Senator William Langer to E. B. Morford, L. O. Naumann, W. Wilkenheiser, and Peter Beuchler, informs the recipients that, despite not sitting on the US Senate Appropriations Committee, Langer has nevertheless secured $100,000 in additional funding for members of the Fort Totten and Fort Berthold reservations. Langer notes that this appropriation was secured on the floor of the US Senate and is "in addition to all the other money that has been appropriated for them [in US House Resolution 2632]." Langer adds that "this is one of the very few times that has ever been accomplished and I feel proud of the fact that I was able to get this $100,000 added for these needy Indians, just by the Senate taking my say-so on it."

Langer includes a breakdown of the areas where the money will be spent, and writes that he is including a copy of the relevant page of the US Congressional Record.

The excerpt from the US Congressional Record was not found with these letters in Langer's papers.
