- Description:
- State Senator Fred Harris is requesting legislation to authorize the Comanche Tribe to form its own separate tribal organization, separate from the Kiowa and Apache Tribes. He believes that this will promote better organization and cooperation within the tribe. The memorandum outlines the history of the Comanche tribe's attempts to establish their own government and requests the Secretary of the Interior to reconsider the tribe's desire for separation and recommend appropriate legislation.
