At some point in time, the State of Idaho, and I suspect all of the States that have had agreements with DOE that are older, are going to have to sit down and say, 'Okay, now what do circumstances require that we do and still meet the demands of the State and the needs of the Federal Government and the Navy and others?'
Simpson discusses the need for states to reassess agreements with the DOE over time.

Last year was an ugly budget year. I understand why it was. We were overspending.
I have learned not to make promises I can't keep because you are dealing with hundreds of years of broken promises.
I want to thank the honorable Mike Simpson, who is our representative, for his continued efforts on behalf of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes and of Indian Country to uphold the treaty and trust responsibility.
