Staff Only

The Department of the Interior responded to a request for their views on S.J. Res. 133, which would establish an American Indian Policy Review Commission. They stated that the subject matter falls within the jurisdiction of Congress and recommended that the resolution be in the form of a concurrent resolution. They emphasized the importance of not using termination as a method of dealing with American Indians, supporting the President's Indian package legislation, and consulting with Indians on any commission or mechanism to reassess Federal Indian policy. They also highlighted the need for any Congressional review of Indian policy to not weaken the commitment to these elements.
