- Description:
- The United States Department of the Interior responds to a request for views on two bills related to the partition of surface rights in the Hopi and Navajo reservations. They recommend letting a court order unfold to resolve the dispute, but suggest that if Congress chooses to partition, the District Court in Arizona should handle it. They also offer amendments to improve an arbitration procedure outlined in one of the bills. The historical background of the dispute between the tribes is provided, including previous attempts to resolve it.
