The writer also challenges Collier's assessment of a potential manager for the mills and questions the credibility of references provided.

Senator Mike Monroney has reached out to various agencies on her behalf, including the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Keshena Indian Agency. The agencies have stated that records pertaining to the Stockbridge Indians have been transferred to the Great Lakes Agency in Ashland, Wisconsin. Despite efforts to locate information, it is unlikely that records will reflect Mrs. Coate's enrollment with the Six Nations Confederacy. Mrs. Coate has provided an enrollment card and tax certificate as proof of her membership in the Confederacy.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs provided instructions for replacement of the bonds, suggesting that if they were Treasury Bonds, the loss should be reported to the Treasury Department in Chicago, and if they were issued by Menominee Enterprises, Inc., the matter should be taken up with that organization. Senator Monroney's office acknowledged the letter and promised to provide information on the replacement procedure.

Additionally, there is a proposal to remove a paragraph that grants unlimited Federal funds to the Menominee Tribe, which is seen as premature and should be considered in a general bill applicable to all tribes."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_8_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Menominee%20Tribe%20Bills%20(H.R.%207421,%20H.R.%209078),%20Background,%20Analysis,%20Amendments,%20Summary%20of%20Hearings/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_8_0002_thumbnail.jpg "\"Proposed Amendments to H.R. 7421: Ensuring Immediate Services and Equity for the Menominee Tribe\"")
