Proposed Indian Claims Commission Bill, 1946-03-02 - 1946-03-02

The letter discusses the need for a more efficient method of handling Indian claims, as the current process is lengthy and ineffective. A proposed solution is the creation of an Indian Claims Commission, which has bipartisan support and is seen as the most feasible plan. The Commission would allow legitimate claims to be presented within five years and decided upon within ten years, putting an end to the exploitation of Indians by those seeking to profit from soliciting funds for unsubmitted claims. The letter invites suggestions for alternative plans and emphasizes the importance of finding a better way to handle Indian claims.
