I truly appreciate Representative Cole bringing into the discussion about this bill the fact of how it has impacted his own Tribe and their ability to take land into trust and not be subject to these unnecessary, frivolous, and time-consuming, as well as expensive, lawsuits that just create confusion out there. I think the fact that Mr. Cole has worked on this every year since we had the Carcieri decision tells you so much about how, on both sides of the aisle, in the House and Senate, we are looking for a fix, and this is indeed the Carcieri fix. Madam Speaker, I have no further requests for time and would inquire whether my colleague has any remaining speakers on their side.
