Proposed Amendment in Wu: Compensation for Subordination of Osage Tribes Mineral Estate

This text proposes a substitute power for the Osage Tribe of Indians in relation to the acquisition of their mineral estate. It states that the Osage Tribal Council has the authority to administer the mineral estate and has agreed to receive $7,400,000 as compensation for the acquisition of the subordination of the oil, coal, and other minerals necessary for the construction and maintenance of the Skiatook Lake project. The text also outlines the conditions and restrictions for the subordination and states that the payment for the subordination should be made to the Secretary of the Interior on behalf of the Osage Tribe. It further authorizes the Secretary of the Army to acquire the subordination of any interests in oil, gas, coal, and other minerals necessary for the Skiatook Lake project. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to disburse the payment to the Osage Tribe in accordance with applicable law, and attorney fees are not applicable to the funds paid to the tribe.
