On the recordJuly 15, 1997
I have met with the tribal representatives today, and they are absolutely opposed to this amendment. They have 'an alternative proposal,' but if it should be looked at, it should be done fully through the authorizing committee as a bill, open to public hearings, and not put into an appropriations bill where no one has the time to read it. I haven't even read the proposal myself, and I live there. So there will be no mistake, the tribes today, as of today, said they oppose this amendment.
