So the actual wording of the referendum states, ``A voter approval requirement does not apply to Indiana tribal gaming.'' By passing H.R. 2176, Congress will bring about a final resolution to this land claim dispute that has been going on for more than 100 years. Without congressional approval, the land exchange cannot be completed, and the residents of Charlotte Beach, my constituents, will continue to face clouded land titles and economic hardships. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to ignore the rhetoric from those attempting to protect casinos. Support this land claim settlement. Support H.R. 2176.
