The memorandum outlines a bill, H.R. 9294, that authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to convey trust title of U.S. Government land within the Devils Lake Sioux Reservation to the Devils Lake Sioux Tribe. The bill conveys 5.3 acres of land to the tribe, which was purchased by the United States in 1904. The current market value of the land is $2,500, and there are proposed amendments to the bill regarding set-off provisions and the title of the bill. Members of the Subcommittee on Indian Affairs are informed of a meeting to mark up the bill on August 14 and 15.
