Additionally, he discusses the involvement of Solicitor Frank J. Barry of the Interior Department in advising on the contract and highlights the differences in fee awards for similar cases."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_47_46_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission-Cherokee,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_46_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Dissenting Opinion on Attorney Fees in Indian Claims Commission Case")
