Edward Markey actually said...

"The HEARTH Act would allow tribes to develop their own leasing regulations and make leasing decisions on tribal Trust at the tribal level rather than waiting for BIA approval."

"The first and most basic step we should take towards that goal is making it easier for Indian Tribes to use their own land."

"I commend Mr. Heinrich for introducing H.R. 205, a bill that would authorize willing Indian tribes to manage leasing activities on their own lands without unnecessary and burdensome federal oversight."

"While I strongly support my legislation, I hope that the HEARTH Act is quickly enacted extending the provisions found in H.R. 2362 to all tribes."
