Gorton said "Within the $20,566,000 provided for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, an estimated $4,736,000 has been identified for emergency needs in South Dakota, including emergency assistance for the Crow Creek Sioux. In distributing these amounts, I agree that the Bureau should take into consideration additional needs, including those of the Crow Creek Sioux, to the extent that Bureau policy regarding historical priorities for funding Indian roads, tribal administration buildings and irrigation projects is met. In addition, the Bureau must consider the availability of funding through other Federal agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Highway Administration's emergency road program [ERFO]." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
