Mr. Smith goes to Washington
T he T r ib e s ’ G e n e ra l
Manager Ken Smith left for
W a s h i n g t o n D .C . la s t
Wednesday with the keys to the
office of Assistant Secretary of
the Interior for Indian Affairs
jingling in his pocket. 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

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.
