Congressman Schwabe responds, expressing his willingness to work with the Indian leaders to determine the best course of action and requesting their input on what kind of bill they would like to see introduced.

The document was then referred to Congressman George B. Schwabe, who is a member of the House Committee on Indian Affairs. Schwabe informed Mrs. Myrick that the committee is currently conducting hearings on proposed measures relating to Indian claims and suggested that it would be more appropriate to establish an Indian Claims Commission rather than giving jurisdiction to the U. S. Court of Claims.

![["In the letter dated March 6, 1945, Mr. George B. Schwabe discusses his intention to introduce a bill in Congress to create a commission to investigate the individual competency of Native Americans and the removal of their restrictions. He believes that many intelligent Native Americans are capable of handling their own affairs and should no longer be considered restricted by the government. However, he also recognizes the need for a competency board to assess the qualifications of individual Native Americans before removing restrictions. He suggests that members of the commission should be selected from the tribes themselves and that the findings of the commission should be final, with the Secretary of the Interior issuing orders based on their determinations. Mr. Schwabe seeks input and suggestions from Mr. F. W. Files, an attorney with experience working with Native Americans, on the proposed bill."]](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_55_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_55_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Proposal for Competency Commission for Indian Affairs")
