Description
This report from the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, dated July 27 1955, was written to accompany United States (US) House Resolution 5566 which proposed to terminate the Indian Claims Commission by April 10, 1962. This report recommends the bill to pass with some amendments. The report first recommends a statutory citation be replaced with a more detailed citation. The second recommendation of the report is to add a new section related to appointed attorneys and the Administrative Procedure Act. The report's final recommendation is that the title be changed to read "A bill to terminate the existence of the Indian Claims Commission, and for other purposes."
