Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the paragraph relating to the sale and encumbrance of lands of the Kickapoo and affiliated Indians under the heading "Kickapoo" (34 Stat. L. 363) in the Act entitled "An Act making appropriations for the current and contingent expenses of the Indian Department, for fulfilling treaty stipulations with various Indian tribes, and for other purposes, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907," approved June 21, 1906, as amended, is hereby repealed.
All restrictions upon said lands, which were removed by operation of said Act are hereby reimposed for a period of ten years from the date of the approval of this Act on all of such lands as are
still held or owned by the Indians: Provided, however, That valid encumbrances now resting against any of said lands shall not in any manner be affected by the provisions of this Act, but any of such lands so encumbered, if still owned by the Indians, shall, when such encumbrances have been removed, become subject to the provisions of this Act as fully and to the same extent as if such lands were now unencumbered: Provided further, That the President may, in his discretion, in accordance with existing law, further extend the period of restriction herein provided for.
Approved, February 17, 1933.
