Editor,

What part of this doesn’t anybody understand? 

(From the cover of the document):

“Repayment Contract Between the United States of America and the Flathead Irrigation District as approved by the Department of the Interior September 15, 1949 and approved by the Board of Commissioners of the Flathead Irrigation District September 24, 1949 under the provisions of the Act of May 25, 1948,

Public Law 554 Eightieth Congress.”

I don’t see any Flathead Indian Irrigation District or Flathead Indian Irrigation Project mentioned back in 1949. It was never an FIIP — it was an FIP from day one.
