Scope and Contents

The law firm of Macdonald & Files is writing to Hon. Wesley E. Disney, a Member of Congress, regarding a bill authorizing the payment of the Osage Civilization Fund claim. They suggest that Disney focus his efforts on supporting the Senate Bill, which has already passed, in order to increase the chances of it being passed by the House. They explain the importance of the bill to the Osage Tribe and the citizenship of Osage County, and express frustration over previous unsuccessful attempts to pass similar legislation. They request an update on the status of the bill.
