1973 Act to Authorize Appropriations for the Indian Claims Commission, 1973-03-06

This text is about S. 721, a bill that authorizes appropriations for the Indian Claims Commission for fiscal year 1974. The bill also includes provisions for the Bureau of Indian Affairs Expert Assistance Revolving Loan Fund. The Indian Claims Commission was established in 1946 to hear and decide Indian tribal claims against the United States. The bill aims to ensure the Commission's work is completed by April 1977 and may require additional funding for the Loan Fund. Amendments to the bill include decreasing the appropriation authorization for the Commission and increasing the authorization for the Loan Fund.
