On the recordNovember 13, 1997
H.R. 1604 by my colleague on the Committee on Resources, the gentleman from Michigan [Mr. Kildee], would provide for the division, use, and distribution of judgment funds of the Ottawa and Chippewa Indians of Michigan pursuant to the four Indian Claims Commission dockets. These funds were appropriated by Congress years ago and have been held by the Department of the Interior for the beneficiaries. The funds would be divided according to a formula included in H.R. 1604 which the gentleman from Michigan [Mr. Kildee] helped work out over the course of many years, and I am very grateful to him for doing that. I am sure the native Americans are very grateful to him for doing that. The funds would be divided according to a formula included in H.R. 1604 between individuals on a judgment distribution roll of descendents, to be created by the Secretary of Interior, and five Michigan tribes.
