    In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University has completed an inventory of human remains from the Pawnee Indian Reservation in Oklahoma. These remains are culturally affiliated with the Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma. Repatriation of these remains can occur on or after April 17, 2025, and requests can be made by affiliated tribes or individuals. If multiple requests for repatriation are received, the museum will decide the most appropriate requestor.

    In a memorandum dated January 13, 2021, the President of the United States delegated authority to the Secretary of State. This delegation allows the Secretary to decide if it's crucial for national security to sell up to $6.8 million worth of cluster munitions technology to South Korea. The decision can be made without considering other legal restrictions related to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. The memorandum also instructed that this authority be published in the Federal Register.

    The President said the Secretary of State can choose to sell some powerful technology to South Korea, which helps make explosive bombs, if it's important to keep America safe, even if some laws usually don't allow it.
