SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1900 and 1911, the Secretary of the 
Interior reserved a parcel of land within the Klamath Reservation in 
Oregon for cemetery purposes. In furtherance of the Klamath Termination 
Act of 1954 (68 Stat. 718), the Secretary revoked the reservation 
status as to the entire parcel and conveyed 1.13 acres of the parcel to 
a private cemetery association. However, 8.87 acres remained held by 
the Secretary. In 1986 Congress restored the Klamath Tribe. Therefore, 
under the Klamath Indian Tribe Restoration Act, P.L. 99-398 (100 Stat. 
849), the remaining 8.87 acres, described below, is declared to be held 
by the United States in trust for the Klamath Tribe and declared to be 
part of their reservation for the exclusive use of the Indians on that 
reservation who are entitled by enrollment or tribal membership to 
residence at the reservation.

    That portion of the Southeast quarter of the Southeast quarter

Willamette Meridian, Klamath County, Oregon, containing 8.87 acres,
