03:45:45	THE CHAIR, - FRIEND AND OUTSTANDING CHAIRMAN OF THE NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE. I KNOW THE HOUSE LEADERSHIP AND
03:45:50	MR. HASTINGS, - CHAIRMAN RAHALL ARE UNDERTAKING SOME
03:45:52	THE CHAIR, - RISK IN HAVING SCHEDULED THIS LEGISLATION BECAUSE THIS TYPE OF LEGISLATION IS INVARIABLY
03:45:57	MR. RAHALL, - CONTROVERSIAL. BUT CONGRESS'
03:46:01	THE CHAIR, - PAST RELUCTANCE TO GRANT FEDERAL RECOGNITION AND
03:46:04	Moran, James "Jim" - U.S. Representative, [D] Virginia DEBT MEANING AND DYSFUNCTIONAL ACKNOWLEDGEABLE PROCESS THAT THE BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS HAS SERVED TO COMPOUND A GRAVE INJUSTICE THAT THIS LEGISLATION...

03:54:43	Hastings, Richard "Doc" - U.S. Representative, [R] Washington PARTICULARLY HERE IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE UNITED STATES. BUT -- AND I DON'T EXPECT THAT MY OPPOSITION OR MY ARGUMENTS ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME
03:54:52	THE CHAIR, - OF HIS VOTES AS I MENTIONED IN
03:54:54	Hastings, Richard "Doc" - U.S. Representative, [R] Washington MY OPENING REMARKS. BUT AS I MENTIONED IN MY OPENING REMARKS, BECAUSE OF THE COURT DECISION, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO SET AT LEAST SOME GUIDELINES...
03:56:09	THE CHAIR, - AUTHORIZE THE SECRETARY TO PLACE LAND IN TRUST FOR A SPECIFIC TRIBE BEYOND THE GENERAL AUTHORITY FOUND IN
