Byron Dorgan: “I don't need to tell anyone in this room that the current system is broken.”

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.

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.

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.

Do you think she went to find out was this a safe home? She didn’t do that, she didn’t have the time, so this precious child was put in an unsafe circumstance.
