"I have long believed that settling rather than continuing to litigate year after year after year is the best course of action."

"The courts have consistently held that the United States failed to properly manage these accounts."

"no settlement would be approved by this Committee that does not provide for actual payment to the Indians before payment of untold millions of dollars to the attorneys in this matter."

"I do not believe that information was ever provided to the Committee."
