Byron Dorgan: “I think we need to maximize the potential for renewable energy in our country.”

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

The fundamental problem found in the Dorgan report in 2010 and the findings now before the House is IHS, LEADERSHIP was failing then as it is failing now.

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.
