The problem with this is that is the entity to do the enforcement. If you are putting this in hiatus indefinitely, you have stopped the enforcement activities.

the entire Federal Government has a trust responsibility to the tribes.

I sent a letter to the President in March urging him to continue the tradition of holding the White House Tribal Nations Conference.

We must work together to address the unique challenges faced by tribal nations.

I do not think you can say oh, we are going to indefinitely postpone it. The message should go to the Secretary that he reconvene the Review Committee and continue its statutorily mandated mission, which is I think tremendously important.

I appreciate our partnership on this and many other issues affecting tribes and Native Americans.

We support the bill. Great Plains does and the United Tribes of North Dakota.

We have many from all members, both sides, outstanding questions I think really need to be answered.

I believe a comprehensive assessment of IHS is necessary first, as a necessary first step to making calculated and systemic changes at IHS.

USET SPF commends Senator Martin Heinrich, and cosponsors, for the introduction of the STOP Act.

Despite protections in current law, the illicit trade in Native American tangible cultural heritage continues to pose a grave threat...

Congress should use its current oversight authority to compel IHS to provide the information currently outlined in this legislation.

the idea of taxpayer money going to private companies to dig for information this Committee should be able to get from Federal agencies already strikes me as wasteful and duplicative.

Congress should consider banning the use of unverified Social Security numbers in commerce.

I think what I've seen today, I've been here for a long time listening today to the testimony, there are a lot of good ideas, and hopefully we can find a bipartisan way to really deal with a very tough situation.

This is an unacceptable practice for an organization with such power over consumers' lives.

Helping fulfill the Federal trust responsibility is absolutely critical to me.

It is urgent. I cannot express how urgent it is to me. The Shield must come home.
