Description

This document is a draft of a bill, not dated, by United States (US) Representative Usher Burdick, intended to increase the amount of time allowed for negotiation and ratification under the law entitled, "An Act to authorize the negotiation and ratification of separate settlement contracts with the Sioux Indians of Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota and of Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota and North Dakota for Indian lands and rights acquired by the United States for the Oahe Dam and Reservoir, Missouri River development, and for other related purposes," also known as Public Law 81-870. This amendment would increase the amount of time allowed for negotiation and ratification from twenty-eight months to forty months.

This wording is identical to the wording of a bill proposed in the US Senate by US Senator William Langer, who wrote to Burdick on January 22, 1952 asking him to do the same in the US House of Representatives.
