The entire unexpended balance of funds that were appropriated by the

Claims Commission entered in docket numbers 264, 264A, and 264B in favor
of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, and the
interest thereon, less litigation expenses, estimated costs of
distribution, and $200,000 to be used as provided in section 1195 of
this title, shall be distributed, per capita, in equal shares to all
eligible members of the Confederated Tribes as defined in this
subchapter under such terms and conditions as are authorized by the
tribal governing body and approved by the Secretary of the Interior,
including the establishment of trusts for minors and incompetents.
Payments to heirs or legatees shall be made upon proof of death and
inheritance satisfactory to the Secretary, whose findings shall be final
and conclusive. Such per capita distribution shall be made in three
installments of approximately equal amount, the first installment to be
