He asks for no further action to be taken until the tribe's Annual General Council Meeting on August 29th, where he will make a full report and recommendations. The decision could potentially result in a loss of funds for tribal members, so he is seeking additional direction from the General Council. Manatowa also thanks Congressman John N. (Happy) Camp for his hospitality during a recent visit to Washington.

The Department of the Interior prefers using 1937 census rolls for division, but the Oklahoma Sac and Fox disagree, citing flaws in the 1937 roll and differences in tribal membership criteria. They argue that dividing the award based on current membership is the fairest and most democratic approach.
