Joseph T. Burns: “Senator Cochran, I would like to discuss recent problems that have been facing the Wildlife Services aerial program.”

My State of Montana is home to tens of thousands of Native Americans, and I am familiar with the health care challenges that they and other Native Americans around the Nation face. I understand that the minority leader expects IHS to meet…

That is correct. This directs the Census Bureau to take a study and get the true impact of how counting illegal aliens affects the reapportionment in the House of Representatives.

The Senator is correct. I am willing to work with the Senator from Wisconsin, Mr. Feingold, and the ranking member of the subcommittee, Mr. Dorgan to request in writing this audit by the Government Accountability Office.

I will be happy to consider the Senator's request should funding become available.
