He stated that the GSA had been assisting the Department of the Interior in planning for the proposed demonstration of the Trail of Broken Treaties, but that at no time was there any indication that the Indians' visit would be anything but orderly. He noted that the GSA had deployed additional officers in and around the BIA Building and had maintained a 24-hour standby force of Federal Protective Officers in the Interior Department Auditorium, but that no request had been made to evict or arrest the demonstrators who had begun to enter the main part of the BIA Building.

She questions the actions of Commissioner Bruce and suggests that the BIA is being destroyed by its involvement with non-reservation Indians.
