All factors incident to the activities authorized in this chapter shall be closely controlled by the Tribes and the provisions of this chapter shall be liberally construed to achieve such end.
(b) 
If any clause, part or section of this chapter be adjudged invalid, such judgment shall not affect or invalidate the remainder of this chapter, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, part or section directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment is rendered. If the operation of any clause, part or section of this chapter shall be held to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, it is hereby declared that, had the invalidity of such clause, part or section been considered at the time of the enactment of this chapter, the remainder of this chapter would nevertheless have been adopted without such invalid clauses, parts or sections.
