$2,080,f>60 follows payments to
Wyoming of $6,283,387 and New
Mexico $4,681,774.
With the $2 million payment
covering the period between July

July of 1957. At that time the
Congress approved the Bartlett

of revenue realized from oil, gas
and coal leasing in Alaska, a pro
vision which later was incorporat
ed into the statehood law. The
other states receive only 37%
percent of oil and gas revenues
