"CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS

"The Congress, after careful review of the Federal Government's historical and special legal relationship with American Indian people, finds that—

"(a) the policy implementing this relationship has shifted and changed with changing administrations and passing years, without apparent rational design and without a consistent goal to achieve Indian self-sufficiency;

"DECLARATION OF PURPOSE

"Congress declares that it is timely and essential to conduct a comprehensive review of the historical and legal developments underlying the Indians' unique relationship with the Federal Government in order to determine the nature and scope of necessary revisions in the formulation of policies and programs for the benefit of Indians.

"(1) three members shall be selected from Indian tribes that are recognized by the Federal Government; "(2) one member shall be selected to represent urban Indians; and

"(3) one member shall be selected who is a member of an Indian group not recognized by the Federal Government.

None of the Indian members shall be employees of the Federal Government concurrently with their term of service on the Commission nor shall there be more than one member from any one Indian tribe.

"(d) Vacancies in the membership of the Commission shall not affect the power of the remaining members to execute the functions of the Commission and shall be filled in the same manner as in the case of the original appointment.

"(e) Six members of the Commission shall constitute a quorum, but a smaller number, as determined by the Commission, may conduct hearings: Provided, That at least one congressional member must be present at any Commission hearing.

"(f) Members of the Congress who are members of the Commission shall serve without any compensation other than that received for their services as Members of Congress, but they may be reimbursed for travel, subsistence, and other necessary expenses incurred by them in the performance of duties vested in the Commission.

"(g) The Indian members of the Commission shall receive compensation for each day such members are engaged in the actual performance of duties vested in the Commission at a daily rate not to exceed the daily equivalent of the maximum annual compensation that may be paid to employees of the United States Senate generally. Each such member may be reimbursed for travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence.

"[COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION AND STUDY]

"SEC. 2. It shall be the duty of the Commission to make a comprehensive investigation and study of Indian affairs and the scope of such duty shall include, but shall not be limited to

"(1) a study and analysis of the Constitution, treaties, statutes, judicial interpretations, and Executive orders to determine the attributes of the unique relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes and the land and other resources they possess: "(2) a review of the policies, practices, and structure of the Federal agencies charged with protecting Indian resources and providing services to Indians: Provided, That such review shall include a management study of the Bureau of Indian Affairs utilizing experts from the public and private sector;

"(3) an examination of the statutes and procedures for granting Federal recognition and extending services to Indian communities and individuals;

"(4) the collection and compilation of data necessary to understand the extent of Indian needs which presently exist or will exist in the near future;

"(5) an exploration of the feasibility of alternative elective bodies which could fully represent Indians at the national level of Government to provide Indians with maximum participation in policy formation and program development;

"(6) a consideration of alternative methods to strengthen tribal government so that the tribes might fully represent their members and, at the same time, guarantee the fundamental rights of individual Indians; and

"(7) the recommendation of such modification of existing laws, procedures, regulations, policies, and prac

tices as will, in the judgment of the Commission, best serve to carry out the policy and declaration of purposes as set out above.
