SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Act of November 2, 1994, (Pub. L. 103-
436, 108 Stat. 4577), requires that a plan be prepared and submitted to
Congress for the distribution of funds appropriated to pay a judgment
of the Indian Claims Commission or Court of Federal Claims to the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. Funds were
appropriated pursuant to section 1304 of title 31, United States Code,
in satisfaction of the Settlement Agreement entered into between the
United States and the Tribe on April 16, 1994. The plan for the use of
the funds was submitted to Congress with a letter dated January 17,
1995, and was received (as recorded in the Congressional Record) by the
Senate on January 26, 1995, and by the House of Representatives on
January 19, 1995. The plan became effective April 5, 1995, as provided
by the Act, since a joint resolution disapproving it was not enacted.
The plan reads as follows:
Plan--For the Use of Judgment Funds Awarded to the Confederated Tribes
of the Colville Reservation Docket 181-D Before the United States Court
of Federal Claims
The funds appropriated in satisfaction of the award entered on
behalf of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation in Docket

investment income accrued), shall be distributed to all enrolled tribal
members, born on or prior to and living as of February 15, 1995.
Per Capita Aspect: The Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation shall make a per capita distribution of one hundred percent
(100%) of the principal, interest, and investment income accrued, in a
sum as equal as possible, to each member of the Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, born on or prior to and living on February
15, 1995, whose names appear on the tribal roll, as approved by the
Secretary. Any remaining amount, after the per capita payment to the
eligible members, shall revert to the tribe for use in tribal
administration programs.
General Provisions
The per capita shares of living, competent adults shall be paid
directly to them. The per capita shares of deceased individual
beneficiaries shall be determined and distributed in accordance with 43
CFR part 4, subpart D. Per capita shares of legal incompetents and
minors shall be handled as provided in the Act of October 19, 1973, 87
Stat. 466, as amended January 12, 1983, 96 Stat. 2512. Minors' shares
will be held in trust until the minor reaches 18 or his/her high school
class graduates from high school, whichever is the latter.
