On the recordNovember 17, 2004

Mr. Speaker, Senate 1146 was sponsored by the gentleman from North Dakota, Senator Kent Conrad. It was reported by unanimous consent of the House Resources Committee on June 3, 2004. This legislation fulfills a government commitment to replace a U.S. Public Health Service hospital serving the members of the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation. In the late 1940s, the hospital was destroyed in a flood resulting from the construction of the Garrison Dam and Reservoir Project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation. The flood forced the relocation of many Indian families, and it is long overdue that Congress fulfills all components of its pledge to compensate the tribe. I urge the speedy adoption of this bill.
