FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terry Lamb, Historian, Bureau of 
Indian Affairs, Division of Tribal Government Services, MS 2611-MIB,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Act of October 19, 1973, (Pub.L. 93-134, 
87 Stat. 466), as amended, requires that a plan be prepared and 
submitted to Congress for the use and distribution of funds 
appropriated to pay a judgment of the Indian Claims Commission or Court 
of Claims to any Indian tribe. Funds were appropriated on March 31, 
1994, in satisfaction of the award granted to the Pueblo of Nambe 
before the United States Court of Federal Claims in Docket 358. The 
plan for the use of the funds was submitted to Congress with a letter 
dated June 21, 1994, and was received (as recorded in the Congressional 
Record) by the Senate on June 30, 1994, and by the House of 
Representatives on June 24, 1994. The plan became effective September 
28, 1994, as provided by the 1973 Act, as amended by Pub.L. 97-458, 
since a joint resolution disapproving it was not enacted. The plan 
reads as follows: Plan for the Use of Judgment Funds Awarded to the 
Pueblo of Nambe in Docket No. 358 before the United States Court of 
Federal Claims
    The funds appropriated March 31, 1994, in satisfaction of the award 
granted to the Pueblo of Nambe in Docket 358 before the U.S. Court of 
Federal Claims, less attorney fees, litigation and related expenses, 
and including all interest and investment income accrued, shall be used 
to pay outstanding debts for legal services provided to the Pueblo 
which are authorized by the Tribal Council. The remainder of the funds 
shall be used for tribal social, recreational, and economic development 
programs including, but not limited to, land purchases, which are 
authorized by the Tribal Council.
    All trust responsibility of the United States for the investment or 
use of the judgment funds after their transfer to the Pueblo shall 
cease at the time the funds are transferred to the Pueblo of Nambe.
    None of the funds shall be distributed as per capita or dividend 
payments.
