R E P O R T

[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the

trust for the benefit of the Puyallup Tribe of the Puyallup Reserva-
tion, and for other purposes, having considered the same, reports

bill do pass.
PURPOSE OF THE LEGISLATION
The purpose of H.R. 929 is to take certain land in the State of
Washington into trust for the benefit of the Puyallup Tribe of the
Puyallup Reservation, and for other purposes.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
H.R. 929 would take approximately 17 acres of fee land in Pierce
County, Washington, into trust for the benefit of the Puyallup
Tribe of Indians. The land taken into trust would be part of the
tribe's reservation. Gaming, pursuant to the Indian Gaming Regu-
latory Act,1 would be prohibited on the land placed into trust under
the bill.
The Puyallup tribe is located south of Seattle in Tacoma, Wash-
ington. In 1854, the Puyallup Tribe, alongside two other tribes, en-
tered into a treaty with the United States, now known as the Medi-
125 USC 2701 et seq.
