Section 1 of the act of August 13, 1949 (Pub. Law 226, 81st Cong., 1st sess.), hereinafter referred to as the act, declares that title to certain federally owned acquired lands and improvements thereon within the State of New Mexico, and title to certain public domain lands and improvements thereon within the State of New Mexico which were temporarily withdrawn in aid of legislation by orders of the Secretary of the Interior of December 23, 1938, and May 31, 1939, is, subject to valid existing rights, in the United States of America in trust for certain tribes of Pueblo Indians and the Canoncito group of Navajo Indians, respectively, excepting portions thereof used by the United States for administrative purposes, and that certain other portions of such lands are a part of the public domain of the United States. The boundaries and descriptions of the areas of such respective lands are set forth in sections III and IV, respectively, of the memorandum of information which is attached to and a part of report of the Secretary of the Interior to the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs on S. 1323, 81st Congress (Sen. Rep. 549, 81st Cong., 1st sess.). The act further provides that such boundaries and descriptions are adopted as a part of the act and shall be published in the FEDERAL REGISTER after the correction in Section III of such memorandum of information of any clerical errors, and the revision of such section so as to define the areas on Bell Rock Mesa used and occupied respectively by certain Laguna Pueblo Indians and the Cononcito band of Navajo Indians.

Correction of clerical errors has been made and the areas within Bell Rock Mesa have been defined.

Accordingly, under and pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 1 of the act, the boundaries and descriptions of the areas of lands, the title of which is in the United States of America in trust for the respective tribes, bands, or groups of Indians, are set forth below under section I, and the boundaries and descriptions of the areas of the lands declared to be a part of the public domain are set forth under section II of this order.

The lands in section I hereof shall be administered the same as other Indian trust or restricted Indian land.

The lands within the areas described in Section II hereof are, pursuant to the provisions of section 1 of the act, hereby transferred subject to valid existing rights to the Bureau of Land Management for administration under the provisions of the act of Congress generally known as the Taylor Grazing Act (act of June 28, 1934, 48 Stat. 1269, 43 U.S.C. 315 et seq., as amended). Pursuant to the authority vested in me by that act such lands are added to the respective New Mexico grazing districts as heretofore established and modified and as hereinafter indicated. The Federal Range Code for Grazing Districts (43 CFR, Part 161), and applicable special rules, shall govern the administration of such lands for grazing purposes.

Except with respect to grazing and exchanges under section 2 of the act the lands in section II hereof shall not become subject to any other form of disposition under any other public land law, including the mining of mineral leasing laws, until it is so provided by an appropriate order.
