1Opinion of the CourtDavis, Judge
These cases, transferred here from the Indian Claims Commission prior to its termination,1 confront the court with the troublesome but important issue of the extent to which the Commission (and this court, on transfer) can consider injuries done to Indian entities after August 13, *151946 (the date of enactment of the Indian Claims Commission Act of 1946, 25 U.S.C. §§ 70a-70w (1976)) or having their actual impact after that day.2 Both cases are practically the same for present purposes and may be considered together in one opinion.3
