Section 161. Deposit in Treasury of trust funds
The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to deposit, in the
Treasury of the United States, any and all sums held by him on
April 1, 1880, or which may be received by him, as Secretary of the
Interior and trustee of various Indian tribes, on account of the
redemption of United States bonds, or other stocks and securities
belonging to the Indian trust fund, and all sums received on
account of sales of Indian trust lands, and the sales of stocks
lately purchased for temporary investment, whenever he is of the
opinion that the best interests of the Indians will be promoted by
such deposits, in lieu of investments; and the United States shall
pay interest semiannually, from the date of deposit of any and all
such sums in the United States Treasury, at the rate per annum
stipulated by treaties or prescribed by law, and such payments
shall be made in the usual manner, as each may become due, without
further appropriation by Congress.
