On the recordMay 7, 2007
This well-intended legislation improves current law by directly compensating landowners whose tribal lands were flooded by the construction of the Federal Oahe Dam in South Dakota. It also releases Federal funding to the Cheyenne River Sioux who were affected by the dam and, in doing so, reduces Federal taxpayer expenditures throughout the life of the program. In the last Congress, this bill had major issues, but all parties worked in good faith to resolve their disagreements. It now enjoys broad support. We have no objection to this legislation and urge its adoption.
