delegated to him by the Secretary, or vested in him by law, to the

assistant commissioners, or the officer in charge of any branch,

division, office, or agency of the Bureau of Indian Affairs,

law, nor shall anything in this section be deemed to convey

authority to delegate any power to issue regulations.
