Byron Dorgan: “Many tribal communities are in the midst of a public safety crisis.”

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.

Senator Byron Dorgan's 68-page Report of 2010 addressing the critical conditions of all the Great Plain's Regional IHS was brought to the attention of McSwain.

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.

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