Description
This letter dated February 5, 1947, from United States Senator William Langer to G. Lyman of Stanton, North Dakota (ND), is a reply to Lyman's previous letter who wrote Langer on January 28, 1947 to express opposition to the proposal to use lands along the Missouri River near Stanton as lieu lands to compensate members of the Three Affiliated Tribes of Fort Berthold, ND for lands they were losing as a result of the Garrison Dam project.
Langer assures Lyman that he is "doing everything possible to give everyone a square deal."
