I am encouraged by Committee Chairman DeFazio's announcement last week of a transformational five-year, $760 billion investment in infrastructure.
many of the Tribes--in fact, all of the Tribes that are funded through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, through the Indian Health Service, those funds are, number one, not adequate to meet the needs of the community
I stand ready to work with the chairman, full chairman, subcommittee chairman, and all the ranking members to try to achieve that goal.
it may be time to revisit the funding formula, because I don't know that the Tribes at that time, the past few times, have been as active and as--you might say, have been allowed to take part in the development of the funding formula.
