Money Congress sets aside to pay court judgments for Indians is paid under Interior Department oversight. Officials in charge of Indian affairs direct how these payments are made. All such payments must be accounted for to the Treasury as the law requires.

When Congress appropriates money to pay out a court judgment in favor of Indians, that money must be paid under the direction of the Interior Department officials who are legally in charge of supervising Indian affairs. These officials - not any other office - oversee how the payments get made. Every one of these payments must also be accounted for to the U.S. Treasury, following the normal legal requirements for tracking government money.
