The text is a letter from Rep. Page Belcher acknowledging receipt of a resolution from the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Tribal Business Committee regarding the removal of the United States' guardianship over Indians. The resolution expresses opposition to the passage of S. 401, a bill that would abolish the functions of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and remove guardianship over Indians. The Committee believes that progress has been made, but more time is needed before the guardianship is removed. They request their representatives in Congress to oppose the bill and send copies of the resolution to federal officials.
