SUBCHAPTER XXV--INDIANS OF CALIFORNIA
Sec. 658. Distribution of $150 from fund to each enrolled Indian
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 656 of this title, the
Secretary of the Interior, under such regulations as he may prescribe,
is authorized and directed to distribute per capita the sum of $150 to
each Indian of California living on May 24, 1950, who is now or may
hereafter be enrolled under sections 651 and 657 of this title. The
Secretary of the Interior may, in his discretion, make such distribution
from time to time to persons on the roll of the Indians of California
approved on May 16, 1933, as he identifies such enrollees, before the
completion of the revised roll provided for in section 657 of this
title. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to withdraw from the
fund on deposit in the Treasury of the United States arising from the
judgment in favor of the Indians of California entered by the Court of
Claims on December 4, 1944, and appropriated for them by section 203 of
the Act of April 25, 1945 (59 Stat. 77), such sums as may be necessary
to make the per capita payments required by this section, including not
to exceed $15,000 for the purpose of defraying the expenses incident to
carrying out the provisions of sections 657 and 658 of this title. Such
payments shall be made out of the accumulated interest on such judgment
fund and so much of the principal thereof as is necessary to complete
the payments. The money paid to enrollees pursuant to this section shall
not be subject to any lien or claim of any nature against any such
persons, except for debts owing to the United States.
