SUPPLEMENTAL ESTIMATES, BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS

COMMUNICATION

FROM

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

TRANSMITTING

SUPPLEMENTAL ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATION FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS, AMOUNTING TO $240,000

FEBRUARY 17 (calendar day, FEBRUARY 23), 1931.-Read, referred to the Committee on Appropriations, and ordered to be printed

The PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE.

THE WHITE HOUSE, Washington, February 21, 1931.

SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith for the consideration of Congress supplemental estimates of appropriations for the fiscal year 1931, $165,000; for the fiscal year 1932, $75,000; amounting in all to $240,000; for the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The details of the estimates, the necessity therefor, and the reasons for their transmission at this time are set forth in the letter of the Director of the Bureau of the Budget transmitted herewith, with whose comments and observations thereon I concur.

Respectfully,

HERBERT HOOVER.

BUREAU OF THE BUDGET,
Washington, February 21, 1931.

SIR: I have the honor to submit for your consideration supplemental estimates of appropriations for the fiscal year 1931, $165,000;

for the fiscal year 1932, $75,000; amounting in all to $240,000; for the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, as follows: Additional land for Papago Reservation, Ariz., 1931: For the acquisition of certain privately owned lands, improvements, and equipment, for the use of the Papago Indians, Arizona, in accordance with the act of February 21, 1931, fiscal year 1931, to remain available until June 30, 1932, $165,000, together with the unexpended balance of the appropriation of $9,500 contained in the Interior Department appropriation act for the fiscal year 1929, for the purchase of land as an addition to the agency reserve of the Papago Indian Reservation, Ariz. (act March 7, 1928, vol. 45, p. 207) (submitted).

The purpose of this estimate is to carry into effect the act of February 21, 1931, authorizing an appropriation for the acquisition of certain privately owned lands in Arizona for the use and benefit of the Papago Indians as an addition to their reservation.

Support of Indians and administration of Indian property, 1932: For an additional amount for general support of Indians and administration of Indian property, including pay of employees, fiscal year 1932, $75,000 (U. S. C., title 25, sec. 13; act February 14, 1931).

The Interior Department appropriation act for 1932, approved February 14, 1931, authorizes the expenditure of $143,000 of tribal funds of the Fort Apache Indians, Arizona, for general support and administration purposes, including $18,000 for the construction and repair of telephone lines. When the Budget for 1932 was transmitted to Congress it was anticipated that there would be sufficient tribal funds to cover these expenditures. It is now believed that the tribal revenues for that year will be deficient, in the approximate amount of this estimate, due to a recent partial suspension of lumbering operations on the reservation. The purpose of this estimate is to provide, as a gratuity appropriation, the amount necessary to meet the expected deficiency in tribal funds.

The foregoing estimates of appropriations are required to meet contingencies which have arisen since the transmission of the Budgets for the fiscal years 1931 and 1932, and their approval is recommended. Very respectfully,

The PRESIDENT.

J. CLAWSON ROOP, Director of the Bureau of the Budget.
