Show meeting said the White house representatives said the agreement was signed to prevent bloodshed. Damages set at $700,000 in BIA building The White House representatives would not comment on the meeting. One spokesman said that a decision to prosecute does not violate the agreement worked out with representatives of the An agreement signed by repreaenta-tive- a of Preaidpnt Nixon recommending against prosecutions for the occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs building in no way" granted amnesty, a White House spokesman said last night. The spokesman alluded to the extraordinary damage of Government property" during a seven day seige of the building that ended Wednesday night. The Justice Department reportedly is studying what charges should be brought, and against whom, after both the Interior Department and a group of tribal officials asked that the offenders be prosecuted. Preliminary estimates of the damage to the BIA building come to nearly $700,000 with no price tag yet set on many art objects and personal property of the building's 512 employees. About a doren members of the National Tribal Chairmen's Association, saying they represent 34 of the Nation's Indians and nearly all of those who live on Federal reservations, toured the building yesterday and then met with three White House advisors and called for prosecution of the rebels. Attending the session at the Interior Department were Leonard Garment, Special Assistant to the President and one of the two men who signed the amnesty agreement on Wednesday, Brad Patterson who is Garment's Executive Assistant, and Iva Taylor, representing the other signer of the agreement, Frank Corlucci, Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget. An Indian who attended the closed American Indian Movement (AIM), which brought its trail of broken treaties caravan to Washington last week. We are not going to welsh" on a promise to set up a task force to listen to Indian problems, and a prosecution for damages and theft is not another broken treaty," the spokesman said. Frank Adams, chief negotiator for the demonstrators, said yesterday that a haphazard attempt by Federal Government to take reprisal against anyone could lead to the destruction of the properties stolen (documents). A Justice Department spokesman said yesterday that no decision has been made concerning prosecution. Harrison Loesch, Assistant Secretary of Interior for Public Land Management and the man in charge of the BIA said the only a amnesty agreement was recommendation, and I recommend otherwise." Locsch, one of the chief targets of complaints by AIM, toured the building at 8 a.m. yesterday with Interior Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton and said afterwards that "We agree to seek full scale prosecution. He said Morton would personally meet with the Attorney General on what can be done. Showing a copy of the agreement signed by Corlucci and Garment, Loesch said the Secretary indicated that he trusted any such recommendations by Corlucci and Garment would not be followed." Webster Two Hawk, President of the Tribal Council, led about a dozen chieftons through the building. Two Hawk blamed a small handful of revolutionaries" for wrecking the building and the Federal Government for letting them get away with it. They have destroyed records so vital to our people-re- al estate, enrollment, leases-th- at it will take years to recover" said Two Hawk. Preliminary damage estimates were made after tours of the building at 19th Street and Constitution Avenue N. W. The General Services Administration, the Government's landlord, estimated structural damage at $250,000. That figure covers repairing and repainting walls and paneling and replacing roof tiles and glass windows and doors. Additionally, the Interior Department estimated damage to rugs and typewriters and office furniture and equipment at $280,000. No estimate was made on damage to files and records or to art objects and artifacts all of which were scattered d Listen to the MONEY BOWL ON AT 10:12 KVEL MURRAY SEWING CENTER will be calling people at random during the day giving away Gift Certificates for the amount of the day! throughout the three story building before it was vacated Wednesday night. Another cost factor is the time the 412 employees who work in the building cannot work. An Interior Department Spokesman said the daily salaries amount to $27,000, so the cost of their five and one-hal- f days of Administrative leave through yesterday was about $148,500. GSA police did not allow smoking during the tour of the building. They cited the finding of several molotov cocktails, some fashioned with soft drink bottles, still with gasoline and capped with rags and discovered that gasoline has been poured Into some fire extinguishers. Before anyone was allowed in the building yesterday bomb squad members conducted a thorough search of the structure. About 25 or 30 BIA employees worked yesterday, mostly executives and information officials at a temporary quarters at Interior or at a BIA building at 1821 K. Street, N. W. The GSA hopes to have the building ready for reoccupancy a week from today. Arrangements are being made for BIA employees to work in other buildings in the city. There was no insurance on the building or its contents according to the Interior Department. Chief Two Hawk, who is elected head of the Rosebud Sioux Tribes in South Dakota, also is President of the National Tribal Chairmen's Association, which represents the 147 tribes that occupy federally regulated reservations. Two Hawk came to Washington after learning of the takeover of the BIA. After surveying the damage they called for a Congressional investigation of the incident in addition to prosecution of the offenders. Another of the chiefs, Roger A. Jordain of the Red Lake (Minnesota) Band of Chippewa Indians said he was dumbfounded" at the damage. If you and I did the same thing we'd be in the bastille, he said. Two Hawk and other chiefs also were upset that Federal Officials allowed this to happen. When we've been confronted with this (rebellion) on our reservations, we've kicked them out, Two Hawk said. To the complaints against inaction by the Government, Secretary Loesch said, It is true. They got let down by their Government, but we didn't do it. The White House made the decision. He complained that the Indian business has more bosses in Government than any office. They come around like flies. Loesch said. It was not my decision nor Secretary Morton's" Loesch said. "The decision was out of our hands at 10:25 p.m. Thursday. I was compelled to stand those troops down.

UPRIGHT WITH 1 GBZPflgEEB Loesch offered his resignation yesterday, an action that is pro forma with a Administration. I've had no indication either way on whether the resignation will be accepted, he said. Reacting to a report that the Indians were given $66,000 for transportation to their homes Loesch said, I refuse to pay one dime of BIA money to get those people out of town or for any other purpose. Paying them to leave is like paying off an airline hijacker," he said. The comparison apparently was just what other Federal officials had in mind according to one source. We were walking the line between irreparable and repairable damage" the source said. You can buy new urinals, new windows, that is repairable damage, but if we had another Kent State at the BIA, a holocaust by arson, that would be irreparable damage. We knew the dividing line." As Two Hawk and the other tribal officials picked their way through the debris they came upon a delegation of Congressional aides who also were surveying the damage. Robert B. Jim, Chairman of the Yakima (Washington) Indian Nation, asked for a Congressional investigation saying The destruction and theft of records will set us back 50 to 100 years. Congress made these programs for Jim said. people on the reservation, Now they have been destroyed by a few urban Indians. What about that Federal law about crossing State lines to incite riots?" Our records of water rights, hunting and fishing treaties, 50 years worth, are gone, Jim said. This hits at the lowest economic level people. Chief Jourdain added, These Indians Theres more to our Big Blue SST than a racy looking front end. CLEANS c the hundreds of Indians who had occupied the building." About 500 Indians had entered the building on Thursday morning and stayed on during negotiations for housing and other demands. The decision not to evict them Thursday night marked the start of the seige. Ijoesch said that there was not one single tribal leader in the building during the occupation." He said the only exception to that was a man named Early Rider who is a minority representative of a split council in Oklahoma. He described several of the AIM leaders-Russ- ell Means, Bob Burnett, Vernon Bellecourt, Hank Adams, and blood Carter Camp among them-- as thirsty revolutionaries who came here for a physical confrontation, who gave up rather reluctantly when they won everything else" in concessions from White House representatives. One of the demands posted by the protestors was the firing of Loesch. He said he felt set up by their assessment that he was the greatest roadblock to that demonstration. in raw atahMaiS.
