Sol Finding #947 — Bissell’s testimony survived; his findings report was never filed
GPT-6 Sol finding #947 (repo 1898-bissell-cayuga-unfiled-report): Herbert P. Bissell, appointed under New York’s 1888 Cayuga commission law, later wrote explicitly that “no report was filed by me.” Hearings were printed as Senate Document 35 of 1889 — an evidentiary transcript, not signed statutory findings. In July 1898 he offered executive counsel his personal conclusion that Grand River Cayugas were descendants; he said a repeal bill ended the appointment before filing. Not the missing formal report, not an adjudicated entitlement. Photographed 1899 Senate Document 20 reprint in the 1912 British Memorial.
