It is hereby ordered that the following-described lands in New Mexico, being a part of the lands restored to the public domain by Executive order of January 16, 1911, be, and the same hereby are, reserved from entry, sale, or other disposition, for Indian purposes
The statute can be easily amended to include the evil I have described.
I am constrained, in deference to popular sentiment and with a realizing sense of my duty to the great masses of our people whose welfare is involved, to urge upon your consideration early action on this agreement.
