On the recordSeptember 23, 1998
H.R. 4068, the Native American technical corrections bill, contains two important amendments in Section 10 of the bill. Section 10 of H.R. 4068 would amend a section of, and add a new section to, the 1992 Jicarilla Apache Tribe Water Rights Settlement Act (Act of October 23, 1992, Pub. L. No. 102-441, 106 Stat. 2237) (``Settlement Act''). By the terms of the Settlement Act, the Jicarilla Apache Tribe may nor access its ``future use'' water or a six million dollar water resources development fund until two partial final decrees have been entered, adjudicating the Tribe's historic and existing water rights in two stream system in New Mexico. The current statutory deadline for entry of these two decrees is December 31, 1998. If the deadline is not met, these monies, which have already been appropriated, will be returned to the general treasury.
