On the recordOctober 9, 1998
Mr. Speaker, S. 459, the Native American Programs Act Amendments of 1997, would continue the important programs operated under the Native American Programs Act. This Act promotes social and economic self-sufficiency among Indian tribes. Grants under the Act have been used to assist tribes, develop government infrastructure, establish tax, zoning and corporation codes, and provide the regulatory frameworks necessary to attract and retain outside capital investment. In addition to extending these programs through the years 2002, it amends provisions for a Native Hawaiian Revolving Loan Fund to make it self-sufficient and eliminate the need for further appropriations.
