I am concerned by many of the proposed reductions to the BIA, particularly the elimination of the Tribal Courts Program.

I am not in favor of the wholesale elimination of or drastic reductions to programs simply to hit a budget number.

the budget that we are looking at now, in my view, does not use gimmicks, but it does propose some real cuts to the programs.

It is our veterans that do not get that level of service.
