To: Hon. James E. Murray.
From: Indian Affairs.

THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS,
LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE SERVICE,

Washington, D. C.

Subject: Federal lands under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Indian Affairs acquired since 1930.

As requested we have prepared 10 tables concerning Federal lands under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Indian Affairs acquired since 1930. The tabular material indicates (1) tracts; (2) total acreage; and (3) acreage being used by Indians.

The tables are based on returns to the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs questionnaire dated April 17, 1958, and specifically the following question from the covering letter:

The committee would also appreciate an enumeration of all Federal lands on each reservation which have been acquired from private owners since 1930, the extent of acreage involved and number of tracts, the authorities, dates of acquisition, and purposes involved in the purchase of this land and the amount if any, of current Indian tribal or individual use of this land through leasing or otherwise, and the conditions of such leasing or use.

We feel certain the attached tables will supply the statistics requested.

STEPHEN A. LANGONE.
