delegates to the Governors' Interstate Indian Council, and your own second vice-president. Mr. George has already done much of the spadework necessary in setting up a state committee patterned along the Minnesota lines, and he and I shortly hope to present a plan to the Governor and his advisors providing for such an organization. The Governor has already expressed his approval, and before the next meeting of the Interstate Council in December, we should have such a committee organized. In closing, I hope that I do not overstep the bounds of my invitation to appear before you when I suggest that an endorsement of the Governors' Interstate Indian Council by this Congress, representing Indians in all states, will go a long way towards strengthening that organization and what it can do in dealing with Indian Affairs. .....
