Byron Dorgan: “You've painted a pretty ominous picture of what might be ahead of us in the next several months in North Dakota.”

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.

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.

The agency promised changes, but the situation has only disintegrated since.
