Description
This letter dated June 9, 1954, from United States (US) Senator William Lange to Assistant Secretary of the US Department of the Interior Fred G. Aandahl, encloses a telegram from "North Dakota Indian tribes" in reference to oil and gas leases on land belonging to the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation. Langer asks Aandahl if he can handle the matter. The telegram referenced here is likely the one sent from Three Affiliated Tribes Tribal Chairperson Martin Cross on June 5, 1954. The telegram is not enclosed with this document.
