Byron Dorgan: “The President didn't punch that hole in the planet. He can't plug it either.”

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.

I know that everyone sitting at this table has a passionate desire to fix these problems.

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