I have a letter here from a BIA regional office telling tribal leaders in my own district that the Department is closing an office and consolidating the workload to another office.

I think that whether it is one individual or not, it is a precedent that I think needs to be dealt with.

If Secretary Bernhardt wants to implement the Zinke reorganization plan, he needs to start by providing Congress with a complete justification and a plan.

I would like a date, and why then am I singled out?

Thank you. Mr. Cameron, in the testimony you said in response to the feedback that the agency received from tribes, that the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Bureau of Indian Education, the Office of Special Trustee for American Indians would…

we urge the Congress to take appropriate and immediate measures to prevent DOI from engaging in this risky and dangerous effort.

I work out of humility, sir, humility.

Those are questions that demand answers, and we have to have them, as a Committee.

It doesn't sound to me like the tribes are getting their wish of being left out of the reorganization at this point.

I was thinking if there was an instruction manual on how to fundamentally weaken an agency, this is what I think it would recommend: start by creating a crisis for key agencies...

Thank you very much.
