Byron Dorgan: “It's a race between offense and defense.”

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

This is not about politics; everyone on this dais knows that.

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.
