H.R. 4865 and S. 722 are bills that address the conveyance of submarginal land to the Stockbridge-Munsee Community that was purchased by the United States in the 1930s. The land is now worth over $600,000, but the original legislation did not allow it to be conveyed to the Indians. H.R. 4865 includes provisions to protect individual Indian rights in the land, while S. 722 includes standard set-off provisions that are not in H.R. 4865.
