Their bipartisan work to correct the misguided Carcieri ruling demonstrates how Democrats and Republicans can work together on this Subcommittee for Indian Country.

We write to express serious concerns about the Mining Clarity Regulatory Act, which represents an unprecedented, de facto giveaway of America's cherished public lands to mining corporations.

I look forward to working with you, Madam Chair, and the other members of the Subcommittee to move this bipartisan bill in a similar bipartisan manner.
