Bureau Commissioner Says Proposed Oil
And Gas Agreement Is Not Legal

Glenn Emmons, Indian Bureau
Commissioner, recently issued a
statement in which he said the
Blackfeet Tribal Council does
not have the authority to enter
into the proposed agreement with
the Tribal Development Com
pany giving them full, complete
exclusive authority to supervise
and manage the control, explora-
ton and development of tribal
oil and gas.
Emmons' statement is in agree.
ment with Tribal Secretary, Tiff
Mckays statement and opposi-
ton to the agreement when he
was the only member of the
Council to oppose the proposal
at the time it was made early
last fall.
The agreement would have
given the Company a virtual
monopoly on all tribe.owned oil
and gas interests on the reser.
walton for 20 years from the date
of agreement - subject to the
approval of the Interior Depart.
ment, which evidently will not
be forthcoming.
The department, Emmons said,
has no objection to the Council
hiring technical or professional
assistance and the Area Director
and Agency Superintendent
would be willing to discuss any
such proposition with the Coun
Gil.
THE Tribal Constitution does
not provide the Council with any
power to delegate its authority
in such a manner" Emmons
states as his reason for refusing
to accept the agreement.
