On the recordSeptember 26, 1996
Mr. Speaker, let me commend the gentleman from Alaska, Chairman Young. This one is a good bill, and I commend the gentleman for working in a bipartisan fashion with the minority. As the gentleman said, 9 out of the 10 areas of disagreement were worked out. The 10th was dropped. The compensation package was worked out also. What you have here is basically some Native American corporations getting Federal surplus property. This is a good piece of legislation. I think the chairman worked very well with the administration, which he frequently does. Mr. Speaker, let me say we support the bill, and we congratulate the chairman.
