#### THE HEIRS OF SAMUEL GARLAND, DECEASED, v. THE CHOCTAW NATION.

[54 C. Cls., 55 ; 256 U. S., 439.]

Judgment was rendered, in favor of the defendant,, the Choctaw Nation. On appeal the judgment was reversed, and the Supreme Court decided:

Tlie Choctaw Nation constituted four persons a delegation to represent it in pressing money claims against the United States, promised them a percentage for their sendees rendered and to be rendered, and, when an appropriation was secured from Congress as a result of many years of negotiations and proceedings during which the delegates were succeeded by others, passed an act appropriating the agreed percentage out of the fund held by the United States, with a direction that it be paid to the two existing delegates, as successors of the preceding delegates, to enable them “ to pay the expenses and discharge the obligation in the prosecution of said claim, and to settle with the respective distributees of said delegation,” the act further declaring that payment to the two delegates should be accepted as a complete payment and final discharge of all obligations of the Nation to the delegation and as a full and final settlement of the amount due under its contract. Upon these and other subsidiary facts—

*Held:*(1) That the obligation of the Choctaw Nation was to the delegates individually and not to the delegation as a body, and that the two existing delegates, in collecting and disbursing the money, were agents of the Nation merely, so that its payment to them did not discharge the Choctaw Nation’s obligation to the heirs of a former delegate who had rendered part of the services.

<2) That while under the act authorizing this suit (May 29, 190S, c. 216, Sec. 5, 35 Stat. 444, 445) any right of such heirs to recover on account of service and expenditures by their ancestor must be determined not upon bis contract but upon the principle of *quantum meniit,*a petition alleging valuable service should not be rejected upon the technical ground that it asserted and relied upon the contract.

Mr. Justice McKeNNA

delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court June 1, 1921.

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

July 22, 2022

The text of the following statement was released by the Governments of the United States of America and the Government of India, on the occasion of the Third Meeting of the India-U.S. Counternarcotics Working Group.

*Begin Text*

The Narcotics Control Bureau, India (NCB) hosted the third meeting of the India-U.S. Counternarcotics Working Group (CNWG) in New Delhi, India on 7-8 July, 2022.  Mr. Satya Narayan Pradhan, Director General, NCB led the Indian delegation and Mr. Kemp Chester, Senior Advisor to the Director of National Drug Control Policy at the White House led the U.S. delegation. The U.S. delegation was co-led by senior officials from the State Department and Department of Justice. Representatives from relevant agencies responsible for law enforcement, policy formulation, drug demand reduction, and other drug-related matters, participated in the deliberations on wide-ranging issues related to drug demand, narcotics trafficking, regulatory and control efforts, and cooperation on enforcement and criminal investigations.

The two sides signed an Amended Letter of Agreement (ALOA) in the field of narcotics control and law enforcement cooperation between India and the United States. During the meeting, each side presented an overview of the prevailing drug trafficking scenario in their respective countries and shared updates on current efforts to thwart trafficking and save lives. They also discussed law enforcement coordination, regulatory matters and opportunities for bilateral cooperation in multilateral forums. Recognizing that drug trafficking and related crimes emanating from the region can present a major threat, the two sides decided to increase coordination and information-sharing on the matter.

India and the United States agreed to include drug demand reduction topics under the umbrella of the CNWG. Both sides also agreed to cooperate to fight the exploitation of unregulated chemicals and pharmaceuticals diverted by drug trafficking networks and to share best practices for monitoring the use of unregulated chemicals in drug manufacturing.

The two sides discussed closer cooperation on information-sharing and capacity-building in combatting drug trafficking and related crimes. Acknowledging the importance of bilateral capacity-building in fighting cross-border drug trafficking, the United States will organize training programs for Indian drug enforcement agencies on trafficking in fentanyl and related synthetic opioids.

The United States will host the next CNWG in 2023.

Draft Proposal CB-2 

This concept has been developed by the DOE Building Energy Codes Program (BECP) as a possible code

change proposal to the Commercial provisions of the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code

(IECC).   Interested parties are asked to submit any and all comments on DOE's initial concepts and draft

code change proposals. For instructions on submitting comments, visit:

www.energycodes.gov/development/commercial/codes/iecc/concepts/

Add Exempt Buildings (CB-2) 

Objective:  Exempt buildings (e.g., greenhouses, unconditioned agricultural buildings) that do not

appear to be capable of complying or add criteria that specifically apply to them.    

Suggested Code Change Proposal

Add Section C101.5.3 and C101.5.4  as follows:

101.5.3 Agricultural buildings. The following buildings, shall be exempt from the building thermal 

envelope and lighting provisions of this code: 

1. Greenhouses used solely for plant growth. 

2. Agricultural buildings that meet the requirements of a Low Energy Building in Section 

C101.5.2 and have interior lighting power density no more than 0.6 watts/ft2 (6.6 W/m2).

Reason:  Energy codes and standards have historically applied to buildings intended primarily for human

occupancy and use.  .  There continue to be building and space uses that pose increasing challenges to

the strict application of the code.  Greenhouses intended only for plant growth (not retail sales) are

challenged to provide the requisite services to support their intended function and concurrently meet

the increasingly rigorous fenestration criteria.  

Cost Impact:  There is no cost impact associated with this proposed change.
