                                AMENDMENTS                            
      1988 - Pub. L. 100-580 amended section generally. Prior to
    amendment, section read as follows: "The timber on unallotted lands
    of any Indian reservation may be sold in accordance with the
    principles of sustained yield, or in order to convert the land to a
    more desirable use, under regulations to be prescribed by the
    Secretary of the Interior, and the proceeds from such sales, after
    deductions for administrative expenses pursuant to section 413 of
    this title, shall be used for the benefit of the Indians who are
    members of the tribe or tribes concerned in such manner as he may
    direct."
      1964 - Pub. L. 88-301 substituted "timber" for "mature living and
    dead and down timber", provided for sale of timber in accordance
    with principles of sustained yield or in order to convert the land
    to a more desirable use, provided for deductions for administrative
    expenses from proceeds of sales, made the Indians who were tribal
    members the beneficiaries instead of the Indians of the
    reservation, and struck out proviso which made section inapplicable
    to Minnesota and Wisconsin.
