PASCUA YAQUI TRIBE LAND CONVEYANCE ACT

the Union and ordered to be printed
Mr. BISHOP of Utah, from the Committee on Natural Resources,
submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany H.R. 1404]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the
bill (H.R. 1404) to provide for the conveyance of certain land
inholdings owned by the United States to the Tucson Unified
School District and to the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona, having
considered the same, report favorably thereon without amendment
and recommend that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE OF THE BILL
The purpose of H.R. 1404 is to provide for the conveyance of cer-
tain land inholdings owned by the United States to the Tucson
Unified School District and to the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
The Pascua Yaqui Reservation is located in southern Arizona, 15
miles southwest of Tucson. In 1952, the original 40-acre Pascua
Village was annexed by the City of Tucson. In 1964, Congressman
Morris K. Udall introduced a bill to transfer 202 acres of desert
land southwest of Tucson to the Yaquis. The bill was later signed
into law and the deed to the land was transferred to the recently
formed Pascua Yaqui Association, a nonprofit Arizona corporation.
The reservation was formally established in 1978 under Public
Law 95-375, which also federally recognized the members of the
Pascua Yaqui Association as the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. In 1982, the
reservation added an additional 690 acres for improving the socio-
economic environment of tribal members with the enactment of
Public Law 97-386. In the 113th Congress, Public Law 113-134
placed two 10-acre parcels into trust for the Tribe.
