                                  Resources, submitted the following


                                          REPORT

                                        [To accompany H.R. 1560]

                            [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
                     The Committee  on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the
                   bill (H.R. 1560) to amend the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama
                   and Coushatta Indian Tribes of Texas Restoration Act to allow the
                   Ysleta del Sur Pueblo Tribe to determine blood quantum require-

                   port favorably thereon without amendment  and  recommend  that
                   the bill do pass.
                                        PURPOSE  OF THE BILL
                     The purpose of H.R. 1560 is to amend the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo
                   and Alabama  and  Coushatta Indian Tribes of Texas Restoration
                   Act to allow the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo Tribe to determine blood
                   quantum  requirement for membership in that tribe.
                               BACKGROUND  AND  NEED FOR  LEGISLATION
                     The Ysleta del Sur Pueblo was originally based in New Mexico
                   and then relocated after the 1680 Pueblo Revolt to its present loca-
                   tion in El Paso County, Texas. According to the Department of the
                   Interior, there are 1,691 members currently enrolled to the Tribe.
                     In 1967, Congress enacted Public Law 90-287, terminating the
                   federal trust relationship with the Tribe and placing the Tribe
                   under the jurisdiction of the State of Texas. In 1987, the federal
                   trust relationship was restored by Public Law 100-89, the Ysleta
                   del Sur Pueblo and Alabama and Coushatta Indian Tribes of Texas
                   Restoration Act.
