  S. 2436. A bill to reauthorize the Native American Programs Act of 
1974; to the Committee on Indian Affairs.
  Mr. INOUYE. Mr. President, I rise to introduce a bill to reauthorize 
the Native American Programs Act.
  This act is administered by the Administration for Native Americans 
within the Department of Health and Human Services. Funds appropriated 
for the Administration for Native Americans enable the provision of 
grants for social and economic development initiatives addressing the 
needs of Native communities, for Native language preservation, and to 
provide support for environmental initiatives.
