IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ____________________________________ ) ELOUISE PEPION COBELL, et al., ) ) No. 1:96CV01285 Plaintiffs, ) (Judge Robertson) v. ) ) DIRK KEMPTHORNE, Secretary of ) the Interior, et al., ) ) Defendants. ) ) DEFENDANTS’ FIFTH SUBMISSION IN COMPLIANCE WITH MAY 28, 2004 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER REGARDING HISTORICAL STATEMENTS OF ACCOUNT The Department of the Interior (“Interior”) has continued to make progress completing Historical Statements of Account in accordance with its obligations under the American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act of 1994, Pub. L. No. 103-412, 108 Stat. 4239, and now has prepared an additional 17,621 Statements that are ready to be provided to plaintiff account holders. These Statements are in addition to 28,107 Statements that have been ready to transmit since March, 2005, and 20,402 Statements that have been ready to transmit since March, 2006. Interior urges the Court to permit the transmission of these Statements to the account holders as soon as possible. The Court previously permitted the transmission of 17,096 Statements in an Order dated October 22, 2004. In a Memorandum and Order dated May 28, 2004, the Court granted in part Interior Defendants' Motion for Authority to Communicate with Class Members Regarding the Historical Statements of Account, filed February 6, 2003. The Court's Order permits Defendants to mail completed Historical Statements of Account, provided such statements are accompanied by a transmittal letter that includes text prescribed by the Court and provided that Defendants first submit to the Court "(1) a sample of the actual letter to be mailed with the [prescribed] language inserted; (2) a sample of one of the historical statements of account; and (3) the exact number of historical statements of account and transmittal letters [Defendants] plan[] to send out." Memorandum and Order at 4. The Court modified the language of the prescribed notice in an order dated October 22, 2004. Cobell v. Norton, 224 F.R.D. 266, 287 (D.D.C. 2004). In compliance with the Court’s May 28, 2004 Memorandum and Order and October 22, 2004 Order, Defendants hereby submit redacted sample transmittal letters containing the prescribed language, which is modified to reflect current contact information for Plaintiffs’ counsel, redacted Historical Statements of Account, and two additional enclosures as described below. The number of additional Historical Statements of Account and transmittal letters Defendants plan to send out is 17,621. These Historical Statements of Account are in addition to the 20,402 Statements that are the subject of Defendants’ Fourth Submission in Compliance with May 28, 2004 Memorandum and Order Regarding Historical Statements of Account, filed March 9, 2006, and the 28,107 Statements that are the subject of Defendants’ Third Submission in Compliance with May 28, 2004 Memorandum and Order Regarding Historical Statements of Account, filed March 24, 2005, both still pending before the Court. ___________________________________ Each group may contain Statements for account holders for whom Interior does not have valid addresses. Account holders’ addresses are updated regularly by the Office of Special Trustee, so it is not possible to identify in advance which account holders will not have valid addresses on file on the day on which the Statements are printed. On January 16, 2007, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ Unopposed Motion to Amend the Order of November 17, 2004, by which Plaintiffs sought leave to include updated contact information for Plaintiffs’ counsel in the land sales notice required by the Court’s November 17, 2004 Order. Although Plaintiffs did not request that the updated information also be included in transmittal letters accompanying the Historical Statements of Account, we believe including the updated information in all letters that have not yet been transmitted, as well as in the brochure that will accompany the mailings, is appropriate. Accordingly, by this Fifth Submission, we seek leave to include the updated contact information in each of the transmittal letters and brochures that have not yet been mailed, including the 28,107 that are the subject of Defendants’ Third Submission and the 20,402 that are the subject of Defendants’ Fourth Submission. Four sample transmittal letters and accompanying Historical Statements of Account are attached: (1) a transmittal letter and Historical Statement of Account addressed to the parent or guardian of a Judgment account holder, see Attachment 1 (sample transmittal letter) & Attachment 2 (accompanying Historical Statement of Account); (2) a transmittal letter and Historical Statement of Account addressed to a Judgment account holder who is no longer a minor, see Attachment 3 (sample transmittal letter) & Attachment 4 (accompanying Historical Statement of Account); (3) a transmittal letter and Historical Statement of Account addressed to the parent or guardian of a Per Capita account holder, see Attachment 5 (sample transmittal letter) & Attachment 6 (accompanying Historical Statement of Account); and (4) a transmittal ____________________________________ On January 26, 2007, the undersigned contacted Plaintiffs’ counsel Dennis Gingold to alert him that this Submission would be filed and to inquire about Plaintiffs’ position regarding our request to include updated contact information.

Quátwh! aidAnsWer,! -! 1 Why are you receiving hi is Historical Statement of Account? The American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act of 1994 provides that JIM account holders be given an accounting of the funds held in trust. Your Historical Statement of Account has been prepared to assist you in understanding the transactions affecting the funds in your account. Why does the historical accounting end on December31, 2000? December 31, 2000, was selected because all Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Regions and Agencies had converted to the Trust Funds Accounting System (TFAS) by this date. Quarterly statements have been mailed for JIM accounts since early 2000, except for estate accounts and account holders whose current address is unknown. Will you receive a check for the balance shown? No, this historical accounting is similar to a bank statement. The purpose of the historical accounting was to review your account and make sure it was correct as of December 31, 2000. Statement of Accounting Limitations By. statute and policy, funds in the Individual Indian Trust Fund have, typically, been invested in securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government sponsored entities. Maturities range from overnight investments with the U.S. Department of the Treasury to over 10 years with a large concentration in the 5-10 year sector. Office of the Special Trustee (OST) of the Department of the Interior (DOl) determines the monthly interest factor to credit interest to each Individual Indian Money (IIM) account based on the total interest earnings for the month and the total average dollar balances of IIM accounts for the month. The interest factor used to determine the amount of interest credited to the account changes with the total amount of invested funds and the prevailing rates of interest. For your information, the following page contains a comparative summary of interest rates on investment pools similar to the IIM Trust Fund. DOT has identified potential discrepancies that may affect invested funds accruing interest. Although DOT believes that these discrepancies are minimal, they may have a small impact on the amount of interest credited to an account. When this issue, is resolved as the historical accounting project progresses, DOl will request an appropriation from Congress to address this issue. While the account holder's IIM account may be credited, with additional intefest in the future, the Historical Statement of Account is a crucial, important step in completing the overall historical' accounting project for all UM accounts. As a result of the work performed on the accompanying Historical Statement of Account, DOT has confirmed several things. * The initial deposit into the IIM account was correct. * No improper disbursements were made from the account through December 31, 2000. * The interest calculated by OST, based on the monthly interest distribution factor, was properly applied to the account. As our work on the historical accounting project progresses, DOT will confirm the amount of interest an account may be entitled to and explain to you how any such interest was determined.
