Sec. 703. Termination of Federal trust


(a) Publication; termination of Federal services; application of Federal 
        and State laws

    Upon removal of Federal restrictions on the property of each tribe 
and individual members thereof, the Secretary shall publish in the 
Federal Register a proclamation declaring that the Federal trust 
relationship to the affairs of the tribe and its members has terminated. 
Thereafter 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, all statutes of the United States which affect 
Indians because of their status as Indians, excluding statutes that 
specifically refer to the tribe and its members, shall no longer be 
applicable to the 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.

(b) Citizenship status unaffected

    Nothing in this subchapter shall affect the status of the members of 
a tribe as citizens of the United States.

(c) Education and training program; purposes; subjects; transportation; 
        subsistence; contracts; other education programs

    Prior to the issuance of a proclamation in accordance with the 
provisions of this section, the Secretary is authorized to undertake, 
within the limits of available appropriations, a special program of 
education and training designed to help the members of the tribe to earn 
a livelihood, to conduct their own affairs, and to assume their 
responsibilities as citizens without special services because of their 
status as Indians. Such program may include language training, 
orientation in non-Indian community customs and living standards, 
vocational training and related subjects, transportation to the place of 
training or instruction, and subsistence during the course of training 
or instruction. For the purposes of such program the Secretary is 
authorized to enter into contracts or agreements with any Federal, 
State, or local governmental agency, corporation, association, or 
person. Nothing in this section shall preclude any Federal agency from 
undertaking any other program for the education and training of Indians 
with funds appropriated to it.
