Byron Dorgan: “Let me tell you why I'm asking the question.”

Tribes ceded close to 200 million acres of land during the treaty-making and removal periods prior to 1881.

I spoke on the floor of the Senate a number of times about general aviation and its importance to this country.

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.

I have no interest in injuring business aviation, general aviation, or small airports.
