      By Mr. PADILLA:
  S. 4000. A bill to reaffirm the applicability of the Indian 
Reorganization Act to the Lytton Rancheria of California, and for other 
purposes; to the Committee on Indian Affairs.
  Mr. PADILLA. Madam President, I rise to introduce legislation to 
reaffirm the applicability of the Indian Reorganization Act to the 
Lytton Rancheria of California.
  This legislation would provide clarity that the Lytton Rancheria of 
California is able to place land into trust via the Department of the 
Interior's standard land-to-trust process, 25 CFR part 151.
  The Lytton Rancheria would like to place additional land into trust 
in order to build a proper homeland and provide housing for their 
members. The bill is needed to clarify that Lytton Rancheria is subject 
to the Indian Reorganization Act and, just like other Tribal 
governments, is able to put land into trust through the administrative 
process.
