The writer argues that the current system is wasteful and proposes a total cost of $240,000,000 for the settlement compared to the projected $775,000,000 if the current system continues. The writer believes that the Indians should no longer be under the control of the Indian Bureau and should not be a burden on taxpayers. They ask for the Senator's support in introducing the bill in the Senate.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
