Jim Webb actually said...

"Support for these six Virginia tribes has been voiced many times during the 15 years since they began seeking federal recognition."

"I would like to emphasize my personal belief that this particular situation with respect to Virginia is historically unique."

"the rigid nature of the administrative recognition process has been a source of delay, frustration and a lingering sense of unfairness."

"I strongly believe that recognition for these six Virginia Tribes is justified based on principles of dignity and fairness and historical necessity."
