      H.R. 3013: TO AMEND THE ALASKA NATIVE CLAIMS SETTLEMENT ACT

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. DON YOUNG

                               of alaska

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 5, 1999

  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce H.R. 
3013, a bill to amend the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act to allow 
shareholders common stock to be transferred to adopted Alaska native 
children and their descendants and for other purposes.
  This bill is very similar to H.R. 2803, however, the Alaska 
Federation of Natives and the Department of the Interior have agreed to 
delete Section 7, the Partial Section Selections from the original 
bill. Other provisions in the bill contains revised language 
recommended by the Department of the Interior to address some of their 
concerns.
  Again, Mr. Speaker, I am introducing H.R. 3013 with language revision 
changes to three provisions of H.R. 2803. This is to allow our 
Committee to hold a hearing next Wednesday on a new and expanded 
version of H.R. 2803 which reflects changes recommended by the Alaska 
Federation of Natives and the Department of the Interior.

                          ____________________
