Sales to non-Indians have been negligible. Fallon and Walker River Reservations (both allotted) have asked the Secretary of Interior not to approve the sale of trust lands to non-Indians. Each year the Appropriation Act has stipulated that no part of these funds shall be used for the acquisition of lands or water rights within the State of Nevada either inside or outside the boundaries of existing reservations.

The answers to questions under part II of the questionnaire are all in the negative. The answers to the questions under part III of the questionnaire are all in the negative, except No. 1 which has been answered above. Under question No. 7, the Washoe Tribe has a land leasing enterprise set up in conformity with their constitution. This enterprise distributes the proceeds from a grazing lease rental to allottees and living heirs.

Sincerely yours,

BURTON LADD, Superintendent.
