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

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.

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

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