That exhausts my amendments as to paragraph 4. With regard to paragraph 4, there are a few points to which I wish to draw the attention of the House, specially of the Drafting Committee. The para, begins with the expression, “There shall be established in each State having scheduled areas therein and………, a Tribes Advisory Council”. Instead of saying “there shall be established”, we should say that “the Governor or Ruler shall establish….. etc. I want to say that the ‘Governor or Ruler shall establish’. That would place the matter beyond any doubt instead of saying ‘there shall be established’. Then instead of the expression ‘twenty members and so forth’ I wish to make it ‘twenty members appointed by him. “It would be far better to make it quite clear here that the ‘Governor or Ruler will appoint or establish etc… Then with regard to another amendment to para 2 there is the proviso ‘that the Tribes Advisory Committee to advise’. I submit that it should be ‘to advise the Governor or Ruler’. That would make it complete. Then the last amendment is that instead of ‘by the Governor or Ruler, as the case may be’ the words ‘by him’ be substituted. In sub-para. (3) there is a drafting amendment. In sub-para. 3 (a) there is the expression ‘Members of the Council’. In every case where the Council is mentioned, the full expression Tribes Advisory Council is used. Nowhere the contraction “the Council” has been used. In order to keep to the general trend of the draftsmanship the expression ‘Tribes Advisory Council’ should be written in full.
