Byron Dorgan: “I will not let this issue go until our words are heard and action's taken.”

I know the word 'privatization' has been used. I did not use it.

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.

We have now reached the tipping point that requires, in my judgment, action by Congress.

You are going to save and improve lives.
