Description

This memorandum, undated and unsigned, on the Fort Berthold Indian Corporation Tribal Business Council letterhead and addressed to United States (US) Senator William Langer, makes reference to an appropriation of $400,000 included in the Interior Department Appropriation Act of 1947 for the Three Affiliated Tribes of Fort Berthold, North Dakota, and requests that an amendment be made to the pending bill to authorize the expenditure of $300,000 of the appropriation by the Tribes.

Attached to the resolution (visible in the first page of the PDF scan of the document) is a note saying, "This is the amendment Mr. Case was interested in" (likely referring to Ralph Hoyt Case, legal council for the Three Affiliated Tribes).
