Byron Dorgan: “we are on the Interior appropriations bill, waiting for additional debate. All amendments have been offered, but we are…”

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

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.

Now, we need to change. We need to do it quickly and effectively.

We have to find a way to get at it.
