This is things that your organization makes worthwhile. You talked about the Oklahoma Productions Tax. Congress gave permission for that to be laid vy the state on the Indian income. Now, an alert National Congress of American Indians an alert Executive Director, who borrows every bill that goes into Congress, to find out and alert the tribes on those things. Some of these that come about by legislation can be blocked but maybe they don't need legislation to tax tribes and none of us, nobody that I have seen, wants to litigate the matter. I have discussed it with one attorney who, unfortunately isn't here yet, I understand he is coming, Mr. Z. Simpson Cox, who feels that we ought to try very hard to get an exemption of Indian tribes into the income tax law just as we have now exemptions of cities, states, and counties. They are specifically exempt but Indian tribes, which are also governments, aren't. We think that this is an oversight, but in the meantime it is an awful danger to you. You have blocked such threatening legislation by knowing that such problems can come up, and knowing congressional authorities of the states can help, but this is a very difficult and different problem. I may say, Mr. Rowlodge, that it is my understanding for many years the Shoshone-Bannock tribe has ? had leaded rights in the American Falls Reservoir and have gotten tribal income from it but as far as I know the income man was never asked to cut into any of that. Nor has he into other trival incomes, but whether or not it rises out of the leasing of tribal lands or property, is ever new tried is something you have got to fight becuse they are going to take up to half the income of the tribe in the United States if they get to applying it which is a serious danger. 
May I ask one question, John before we go on? Is that threatened now to your Oklahoma tribe. (no) Are they contending that there is some tax due on that lake frontage. You are just afraid of it. I think we could give you this definite answer and that is that income would stand on exactly the same footing as any other tribal income. In other words,there is no reason why they could tax that because it is lake frontage income any more than they could tax any other tribal income.
