He has accepted the B.I.A. post and Senate confirmation hearings are anticipated in mid-March. He has passed all routine background checks including FBI and IR S sc ru tin y . According to a reliable source, “Ken is as pure as driven snow and passed with flying colors.” Smith will be at th e ‘Capitol for about a month getting a staff together and working on the budget. But during that time he will also be commuting to Warm Springs to help with the transition here. He will have to give up his position here as General Manager since it would represent a conflict of interest if he didn’t. He plans to meet with the Tribal Council around the first of March to discuss the transition. He says he doesn’t expect there will be many changes. Smith said he “doesn't look at it as leaving Warm Springs.” He emphasized that he will take on the position of Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs for only four years. “That’s about all I could take of Washington, D.C.,” he remarked. He views the new job as a “detail” — his in „sion being “to get the Bureau in shape.” He also sees his new task as a challenge. “It’s an opportunity to help all tribes, not just Warm Springs.” At his “last lunch” with the tribal supervisors Feb. 16, Rudy Clements announced that the Indian Resource Panel had, by motion, supported Smith for his nomination as well as continued support during his tenure in office. Clements indicated that so often support is initially offered to “one of our own,” then when he gets in office people start hacking away at him. Smith was also endorsed by N.C.A.I., the Affiliated Tribes of N.W. Indians and other prominent Indian organizations. What particularly pleases Smith is that Secretary of S p ily a y T ym oo y ’. Coyote News i . Interior James Watt has given him complete authority to run Indian Affairs. “This is one of the few times that a position at this high level has been accepted by a nominee without key positions directlyunder the Asst. Secretary not already filled,” noted a tribal source. T his gives S m ith the opportunity to develop the staff of his choice in these key positions,” the source added. Watt has made the commit ment to let Smith run the B.I.A. Updated information on the, management transition here in W arm S p rin g s w ill be forthcoming following Smith’s m eetings with the T ribal Council. Three elected to Siletz Tribal Council Joann Miller, Elouise Case and Edward L. Case were recently elected from a field of ten persons to fill three seats on the Siletz Tribal Council. The tribal members also voted to give pay to all nine members of hours they spend on council business according to, Bernard Topash,. suDerin- dent of the Siletz tribe. The council members were elected to a three year term. It was approved to give members $5 an hour spent on tribal b u sin ess, “ as fund s are available,” Topash said. The reservation consists of approximately 3,300 acres of land after the Siletz reservation act was signed by President Carter in September 1980. The Siletz regained tribal status in 1977.
