being made by the United States

In addition. It must be noted
that the bulk of the Tribes cur.

the proceeds of tribal mineral
development on lands allotted
under the 1919 Act, and that, if
this primary source of income is
eliminated. almost all of the
Tribes programs for the bene.

be either drastically reduced or
wholly stopped. Again in prac.
teal terms, this would mean:
(a) No more per capita pay.

(b) No more school loans or
army grants;
(c) No more medical or burial
