This law requires detailed yearly cost estimates for every staff position in the Indian Office. It bans hiring anyone there whose pay isn't specifically approved by Congress, except for short-term loans of field employees doing their normal jobs.

Detailed annual estimates must be submitted for every personal-services position needed in the Indian Office. The Office cannot lawfully pay for any personal services other than the ones Congress specifically funds in its legislative, executive, and judicial appropriations acts — except for temporary details of field employees, sent to do work connected only to their own regular jobs.
