They are already decentralized. Only some 385 employees of the Office are in Washington. The Indian Office employs that small force here for the obvious reason that Indians have to do with forestry. which is handled in the Department of Agriculture. and with reclamation and drainage. with wildlife. with game treaties with other countries. and in some cases with the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the Department of Justice. In other words. the small force of 385 persons simply cannot be made very much smaller. because it has to confer with various departments and bureaus located in Washington. and its operations are interlocked with them. That is the reason why its headquarters are kept here.
