I spent much of my time as Chairman of this committee focused on increasing funding for the IHS and trying to force some systemic changes in the bureaucracy that plagues that agency.
Senator Dorgan once said it takes four agencies and 49 steps. I think with the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation, we say it is seven agencies and 100 steps.
I think what Governor Engler indicated is the most important point, and that is the stability of funding for a project of this type is essential.
I have no interest in injuring business aviation, general aviation, or small airports.
