![["The document is a letter from John J. Cochran, Chairman of the Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments, to Wesley E. Disney discussing legislation affecting Indian Affairs. Cochran expresses his opposition to extending benefits to Indians, stating that the Federal Government has already been generous towards them. He advises Disney to look into the General Accounting Office for accurate statistics on government assistance to Indian Tribes. Cochran acknowledges the difficult nature of his job but emphasizes the importance of his duty to investigate such matters."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_47_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201935-1939/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_47_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Legislation and Expenditures: A Discussion on Indian Affairs")
![["The memorandum discusses a bill proposing an appropriation for the Osage Tribe of Indians in the amount of $776,742.03, which was the net proceeds from the sales of Osage lands by the United States. The Attorney General suggests that if Congress decides to make a payment to the tribe, they should refer the matter to the Court of Claims to determine the amount owed after considering set-offs and counterclaims. The memorandum also highlights various set-offs and counterclaims that have been rejected or accepted by the Court of Claims in similar cases. It suggests that Congress should consider reducing the claims of Indian tribes against the United States by the amounts expended by the Government on their behalf."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_44_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201935-1939/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_44_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Analysis of S. 670: Appropriation for Osage Tribe Lands")
![["The document is a series of letters regarding the Osage Civilization bill, with discussions on the proposed measure, interest rates, counterclaims, and the involvement of various parties such as the Osage Tribe, Congressman Disney, Senator Thomas, and Attorney F.M. Goodwin. There is a focus on the need for the bill to provide for interest on delayed payments to the Osages, as supported by a recent Supreme Court decision. The documents also mention the potential for delays in obtaining a report from the Interior Department and the importance of introducing the bill to move the issue forward."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_44_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201935-1939/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_44_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Proposed Legislation for the Osage Tribe of Indians")
