They suggest a compromise similar to S. 750, which would grant the tribe exclusive use of 1,640 acres while allowing the Forest Service to administer the remaining area for the benefit of all citizens. They urge the introduction of a bill similar to S. 750 in the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee.
