Byron Dorgan: “We have had some long, spirited and interesting discussions about Missouri River issues.”

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

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 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.
