What you and members of this Committee can do and will do by putting the spotlight on this spot will save lives.

Senator Byron Dorgan's 68-page Report of 2010 addressing the critical conditions of all the Great Plain's Regional IHS was brought to the attention of McSwain.

It is a travesty! Further, it is a problem that will continue to have negative impacts for generations to come.

I just want to say that I am concerned about the court's decision in Carcieri and the impact it may have on those tribes that were recognized after 1934.
