A I R M A I L Through: Area Director, gortland Nov 26, 956 Chairman Yakima General Council My dear Mr. Chairman: First, I should like to apologize for not having written to you earlier relative to Resolution No. T-38-56, which w s passed by the General Council on December 6, 1955. The text of the resolu- tion was received in this office early in the year, but because of the questions which arose concerning the General Council ,eeting of December 6, comments were withheld until those questions ould be resolved. On August 28, 1956, Area Director Foster trans itted signed copies of Resolution No. T-38-56, which have been 4nder study Ln this office. Section I of the resolution sets forth the Genekal Council's objectives which appear to be worthy ones. I Section 2 describes the organization of the Gen ral Council and the procedures to be followed in calling, announcing, and con- ducting meetings of that Council. This section seems to e clear. It is suggested, however, that great care be taken to se notices of General Council meetings to those off-reservation comnities where it is known a large number of Yakima tribal member reside.

With respect to Section 4, which covers the or anizatfon and authority of the Tribal Council, it is my understanding that repre- sentatives from this office who met with the Yakima Trib 1 Council at the end of the summer suggested that when considering a revision of Resolution No. T-38-56, consideration be given to ame ding Section 4 Digitized from Best Copy Available
