Crow Indians Payment Bill Aimed At Yellow Tail Site
Washington representative Terry A. Anderson of Montana said he will introduce a bill in January to pay the Crow Indians 35000000 for the Yellow Tail site of the proposed dam. He arrives to arrange office space staff and living arrangements as Montana's delegation agrees on the 5 million payment.
