IV 110th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 178 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 16, 2007 Mr. Bishop of Georgia submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources RESOLUTION Commending the Consortia of Administrators for Native American Rehabilitation for the many contributions it has made in Indian country through collaborative working relationships, State rehabilitation agencies, tribal health and social service programs, Capacity Building Projects, Federal service agencies, the United States Department of Education, and the United States Department of Labor.

Whereas many Native Americans and Alaskan Natives suffer from varying disabilities and are serviced by various Federal programs; Whereas a need was discovered among Administrators of Rehabilitation Projects that they could enhance and improve service to those with disabilities if they shared experiences; Whereas on January 22, 1993, the Consortia of Administrators for Native American Rehabilitation (hereafter in this resolution referred to as CANAR) was established; Whereas CANAR functions as a national platform for advocating the needs for effective rehabilitation service delivery for American Indians and Alaskan Natives with disabilities who reside on or near Federal or State reservations, Alaskan Native villages, rancheros, and pueblos; and Whereas CANAR addresses the concerns, abilities, capabilities, and informed choice of American Indian and Alaskan Native consumers so that they may prepare for and engage in gainful employment, self-employment, telecommuting, and business ownership: Now, therefore, be it

That the United States House of Representatives commends the Consortia of Administrators for Native American Rehabilitation for the many contributions it has made in Indian country through collaborative working relationships, State rehabilitation agencies, tribal health and social service programs, Capacity Building Projects, Federal service agencies, the United States Department of Education, and the United States Department of Labor.
