This bill is so badly written we really have no idea--I repeat, no idea--what impact this may have on tribes. Yes, Mr. Mullin, I totally support water rights for Native Americans. We have been working on that for at least 8 years in my subcommittee, as well as other water rights owners. We don't oppose your amendment, and we honestly really truly hope this will offer adequate protection to tribes. They deserve it. It is a long time coming. But, as we have said, the bill is beyond repair. Even if we were to adopt the amendment, H.R. 3189 is dangerous legislation that must be defeated. I urge my colleagues to vote against this amendment; although, I don't oppose the amendment, but I do oppose the bill, H.R. 3189. I yield back the balance of my time. The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Mullin). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mr. Polis The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 3 printed in part A of House Report 113-379.
