Raul Ruiz actually said...

"I urge and advocate for tribal leaders to share their views on H.R. 3764 in this committee at a later date."

"the best way we can accomplish this is to have tribal leaders at the table."

"the bill includes that very alarming provision that seems to call into question the lawful Federal recognition status for some tribes."

"H.R. 3764 will take away the Secretary of the Interior's authority to acknowledge tribes, and places it solely in the hands of Congress."
