Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 18(a) of the Act of August 13, 1954 (68 Stat. 718; 25 USC 564(q)), as amended, I, James K. Carr, Acting Secretary of the Interior, do hereby proclaim that:
1. The Federal restrictions on the property of the Klamath Indian Tribe of Oregon and individual members thereof having been removed, the Federal trust relationship to the affairs of the tribe and its members is terminated, effective August 13, 1961.
2. Hereafter, individual members of the tribe shall not be entitled to any of the services performed by the United States for Indians because of their status as Indians and, except as otherwise provided in the Act of August 13, 1954, supra, all statutes of the United States which affect Indians because of their status as Indians shall no longer be applicable to members of the tribe, and the laws of the several states shall apply to the tribe and its members in the same manner as they apply to other citizens or persons within their jurisdiction.
3. Nothing in this proclamation shall affect the status of members of the Klamath Tribe as citizens of the United States.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the seal of the Department of the Interior to be affixed, this 10th day of August 1961.
JAMES K. CARR,
Acting Secretary of the Interior.
