Before restoring unclaimed trust funds to a tribe or sending them to the Treasury under section 164, the Secretary must notify two congressional committees. The Secretary must wait sixty session days after giving notice. If either committee objects before then, the Secretary must wait for their approval instead.
The Secretary* shall not restore to tribal ownership or deposit in the general fund of the Treasury any funds pursuant to section 164 of this title and this section until sixty calendar days (exclusive of days on which either the Senate or the House of Representatives is not in session because of an adjournment of more than three days to a day certain) after he has submitted notice of his proposed action to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives unless each of said committees has theretofore notified him that it has no objection to the proposed action.
