MAKING CERTAIN TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS
Mr. RICHARDSON. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the
Senate bill (S. 1654) to make certain technical corrections, as

The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New Mexico [Mr. Richardson].
general leave
Mr. RICHARDSON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members
may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their
remarks, and include extraneous matter on the Senate bill presently
under consideration.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from New Mexico?
There was no objection.
Mr. RICHARDSON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Mr. Speaker, S. 1654 makes certain technical amendments to various
Federal statutes affecting Native Americans. The bill has technical
amendments to five Federal statutes.
The first provision would amend the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reserved
Water Rights Settlement Act of 1992 to clarify that the costs of
environmental compliance and mitigation related to the repair and
enlargement of the Tongue River Dam are the sole responsibility of the
United States. It also clarifies that the environmental compliance
funds under section 7(e) are authorized in addition to the funds
authorized under 7(b)(1) for the Tongue River Dam project. Finally, it
makes clear that these environmental compliance funds may be expended
prior to the Montana water court's issuance of a settlement decree.
The second provision amends the San Carlos Apache Tribe Water Rights
Settlement Act of 1992 to correct an error in the text of the title 37
of Public Law 102-575. This amendment changes the word from
``reimbursable'' to ``nonreimbursable'' in order to ensure that the
construction costs associated with water transferred to the tribe
pursuant to the settlement are deferred pursuant to the Leavitt Act.
This change reflects the intent of the Congress and is supported by all
parties to the settlement.
The third provision amends a provision included in the 1994 Interior
Appropriations Act to reference section 332(c)(2)(A) of the Higher
Education Act of 1965. The original provision cited the wrong section
of the Higher Education Act. It would allow tribal community colleges
to invest endowment funds in Government securities in addition to
federally insured banks and savings and loans.
I note that a slight change to this provision correcting the date was
added after committee consideration. This minor change has been agreed
to by the Committee on Education and Labor and improves the bill.
The fourth provision amends the White Earth Reservation Land
Settlement Act of 1985 to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to
make necessary corrections to the listing of allotments eligible for
compensation pursuant to the Settlement Act.
The last provision amends the Grand Ronde Reservation Act of 1988 to
clarify that three additional parcels of land which are held in trust
by the Federal Government for the benefit of the Grand Ronde tribe are
included as part of the tribe's reservation.
I urge my colleagues to support it.
State of Montana, Department of Natural Resources and
Conservation,
Helena, MT, April 19, 1994.
Hon. George Miller,
Chairman, Committee on Natural Resources, Washington, DC
Dear Chairman Miller: I have reviewed the letter provided
to you by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) regarding S.
1654 and would like to clarify two issues.
First, the CBO letter implies that S. 1654 creates a
federal obligation to the Northern Cheyenne Tribe for
completion of environmental compliance and mitigation on
tribal projects under their water rights compact. The
Department of Interior currently has a trustee obligation to
provide those services to the tribe: consequently the fiscal
impact of S. 1654 for these purposes is zero. It is
incredulous that the Department of Interior, after promising
the tribe that it has a trustee responsibility to provide
environmental compliance and mitigation services to the
Northern Cheyenne Tribe, would suggest to the CBO that this
obligation is created by S. 1654.
Second, it is the position of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe
and the State of Montana that Section 7(e) of the Northern
Cheyenne Settlement Act of 1992 clearly directs the
Department of Interior to pay for all environmental
compliance and mitigation costs associated with the compact,
therefore we believe that S. 1654 creates no additional
federal cost.
Furthermore, the CBO letter overstates the fiscal impact of
S. 1654 to the federal government regarding the Tongue River
Dam Project even if the Department of Interior interpretation
of the Settlement Act is correct. Because the Department of
Interior would pay $1,300,000 of the $2 million cost of
environmental compliance and mitigation costs associated with
the Tongue River Dam Project (assuming the Department of
Interior interpretation of the Settlement Act is correct) S.
1654 represents an increased federal exposure of only
$700,000.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide this
clarification.
Sincerely,
Gary Fritz,
Administrator.

State of Montana, Department of Natural Resources and
Conservation,
Helena, MT, March 8, 1994.
Hon. Daniel K. Inouye;
Chairman, Committee on Indian Affairs, U.S. Senate,
Washington, DC.
Hon. George Miller,
Chairman, Committee on Natural Resources, House of
Representatives, Washington, DC.
Hon. Bill Richardson,
Chairman, Native American Affairs Committee, House of
Representatives, Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Chairman: The Department of Interior has suggested
that S. 1654 be amended to satisfy their concerns regarding
Section 1, amendments to the Northern Cheyenne Water Rights
Settlement Act of 1992. We believe that the suggested
amendments are either unnecessary or deleterious to the
Northern Cheyenne Tribe. Therefore, we believe that S. 1654
should not be amended and should be moved quickly so that the
Agreement can be fully implemented.
The first amendment suggested by the Department is that the
word ``Compact'' be deleted from Section 7(e) and replaced
with the words ``Tongue River Dam Project.'' We oppose this
amendment because it would remove the current federal
obligation to complete environmental compliance and
mitigation work for Northern Cheyenne Tribe activities.
The other amendments address issues that are resolved by a
proposed ``Letter of Understanding'' that was transmitted to
John J. Duffy by David W. Pennington, Chairman of the
Northern Cheyenne Federal Implementation Team, on January 21,
1994. We believe it is more efficient to complete the letter
of understanding than it is to amend S. 1654.
Best Regards,
Mark Simonich,
Director.
Llevando Fisher,
Tribal Council President.

Northern Cheyenne Tribal Council, Northern Cheyenne Reservation, Lame
Deer, MT
resolution no. 122 (94)
A resolution of the Northern Cheyenne Tribal Council
expressing Northern Cheyenne Tribal Council sentiment to any
congressional legislative amendments in our Northern Cheyenne
Indian Reserved Water Rights Settlement Act of 1992.
Whereas, in September of 1992 the Northern Cheyenne Indian
Reserved Water Rights Settlement Act of 1992 was signed into
law by the President of the United States of America; and,
Whereas, this federal legislation was the end product of
many many years of work by the Northern Cheyenne Tribe; and,
Whereas, this federal water settlement legislation is
viewed by the Northern Cheyenne Tribe as the federal
recognition, at long last, of what amount of water the
Northern Cheyenne Tribe now will own forever and ever; and,
Whereas, this federal recognition, through the legislation,
contains other federal promises made by the federal
government to the Northern Cheyenne Tribe; and
Whereas, before the Water Rights Settlement Act was passed
into law it was thoroughly reviewed by the Northern Cheyenne
Tribe, the State of Montana, and the U.S. Government; and,
Whereas, the Northern Cheyenne Tribe now expects that this
legislation shall be fully honored by ourselves, the State of
Montana, and the U.S. Government; and,
Whereas, certain amendments are now being advanced by both
the State of Montana and the Department of Interior
concerning certain changes in the Northern Cheyenne Indian
Reserved Water Rights Settlement Act of 1992; and,
Whereas, the Northern Cheyenne Tribal Council, after
thoroughly reviewing the amendments which are offered by the
State and the Department of Interior, wishes to go on record
regarding our position on any legislation changes in our
Northern Cheyenne Indian Reserved Water Rights Settlement
Act; now,
Therefore be it resolved by the Northern Cheyenne Tribal
Council that any and all amendments that either the State of
Montana or the Department of Interior would propose for
possible amendments to our Water Settlement Act will be
scrutinized by the Northern Cheyenne Tribe and will not be
supported, and in fact will be vigorously opposed, if the
amendment dilutes or weakens any of the promises or
responsibilities made by the United States Government in our
1992 Water Rights Settlement Act. In particular, the long
term environmental compliance costs that the Secretary of
Interior is to provide the Northern Cheyenne Tribe when the
Tribe makes use of our Compact water is to remain as it now
reads in our 1992 Settlement Act.
Passed, Adopted and Approved by the Northern Cheyenne
Tribal Council by 13 votes for passage and adoption and no
votes against passage and adoption this 22nd day of March,
1994.
Llevando Fisher, President,
Northern Cheyenne Tribal Council.
Mr. GRAMS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the gentleman from Wyoming [Mr. Thomas],
who is the ranking member on the Subcommittee on Native American
Affairs, I would simply state today that we have no opposition to the
passage of this legislation.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. RICHARDSON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume for the purpose of thanking the gentleman from Minnesota for
his assistance today. I especially want to thank the gentleman from
Wyoming [Mr. Thomas], a very valued member of the subcommittee who has
worked very diligently on native American issues.
Mr. Speaker, as I have stated in my statement, this is a bill that is
basically just technical corrections; they are needed. Many tribes are
affected by what we are doing here today.
Mr. KOPETSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express my support for S. 1654,
a bill making technical corrections to various Indian laws. In
particular, I support section 5 of the bill as reported from the
Natural Resources Committee, which clarifies the status of three
parcels of land held in trust by the United States for the Confederated
Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon. I also want to take this
occasion to thank Representative Richardson, the chairman of the
Natural Resources Subcommittee on Native American Affairs, and
Representative Miller, chairman of the full Natural Resources
Committee, for their support and timely consideration of this
legislation. And the support and assistance of my Oregon colleague,
Representative Elizabeth Furse, is especially appreciated.
Section 5 of S. 1654 as reported will clarify that three parcels of
land, totaling 68.33 acres and already held in trust by the United
States for the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde, are to be
recognized as reservation for the tribes. The Confederated Tribes of
the Grand Ronde were terminated in 1954 and restored to Federal
recognition in 1983. Subsequent legislation, enacted in 1988,
established their new reservation, and identified specifically
described tracts of commercial timberland as reservation lands. The
Reservation Act also clearly envisioned that lands other than the
timberlands be included in the reservation, but at the time of
enactment, the Grand Rondes had no land in trust, so no other lands
were included in the specified acreage. However, following enactment of
the Reservation Act, the tribes secured three additional parcels of
land within the community of Grand Ronde, which today are occupied by
the tribal headquarters, elders facility, and forestry headquarters.
These parcels are within the Grand Ronde's old reservation and have
been taken in trust for the tribes. The tribes desire that the parcels
be made a part of the new reservation, but the U.S. Interior Department
has determined that for these parcels to be considered restored lands,
they must be statutorily established. Accordingly, section 5 of S. 1654
would simply amend the specific reservation description in the 1988
Grand Ronde Reservation Act to include these three parcels.
The U.S. Department of the Interior, in a March 10, 1994 letter from
Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Ada Deer to Chairman George
Miller, supports this change in the Grand Ronde Reservation Act,
stating:
We particularly support Section 6 now Section 5, of the
bill which would amend the Grand Ronde Reservation Act of
1988, by adding to the reservation three parcels acquired in
trust for the tribe since the legislation. The inclusion of
these lands in the reservation is entirely consistent with
the act and we fully support it.
Mr. Speaker, section 5 of S. 1654 is supported by your Committee on
Natural Resources, the administration, my Oregon colleague and myself.
It is time that we, as a nation, begin to repay the debt we owe our
native Americans by giving them sufficient land and economic
opportunities to thrive in modern American society. I urge my
colleagues to support S. 1654.
In closing, Mr. Speaker, I note with sadness the death Saturday,
April 16, of Mr. Ray McKnight, who joined the Grand Ronde Tribal
Council in his later years. Mr. McKnight was instrumental in the Grand
Ronde Reservation Act, active on the tribes' timber committee, and
participated in the tribes' acquisition of lands addressed in the
legislation before us today. I join the Confederated Tribes of Grand
Ronde and the wider community in mourning his passing, and wish to pay
tribute to his leadership and public service.
Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. Speaker, this technical corrections bill contains
language which clarifies the original intent of Congress when we
enacted Public Law 102-374, the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reserved Water
Rights Settlement Act of 1991. This act was passed to finally quantify
the water rights of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe and to provide for the
repair and enlargement of the Tongue River Dam to hold those water
rights. The repair of the dam is high priority because the spillway is
too small creating unsafe conditions during high flow periods.
Due to a drafting error in the original bill however, the funds for
the environmental compliance and fish and wildlife mitigation for the
dam reconstruction were frozen by the Department of Interior because
questions were raised concerning whether environmental compliance and
fish and wildlife mitigation costs were covered under the authorization
for the Tongue River Dam project.
Mr. Speaker, the entire Montana congressional delegation along with
Chairman Miller of the Natural Resources Committee and Chairman
Richardson and Senator Inouye of the House and Senate Indian Affairs
Committees support this legislation. In fact, they sent a letter to the
Department in February of 1993 clarifying our intent that the
environmental compliance and mitigation was to be provided under a
separate authorization found in Public Law 102-374.
Because of the continuing concern by the Department of Interior on
environmental compliance and mitigation, we introduced a bill last
spring which was rolled into S. 1654 and was passed the end of last
year by the Senate.
I now hope with passage of this bill, we will be able to move forward
and implement this long-awaited law.
Mr. RICHARDSON. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the
bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the
gentleman from New Mexico [Mr. Richardson] that the House suspend the
rules and pass the Senate bill, S. 1654, as amended.
The question was taken.
Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, I object to the vote on the ground that a
quorum is not present and make the point of order that a quorum is not
present.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Evidently a quorum is not present.
The Sergeant at Arms will notify absent Members.
