ATSDR support for and collaboration with tribes, and to improve the 
health of tribes by pursuing goals that include assisting in 
eliminating the health disparities faced by Indian Tribes; ensuring 
that access to critical health and human services and public health 
services is maximized to advance or enhance the social, physical, and 
economic status of American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) people; and 
promoting health equity for all AI/AN people and communities. To 
advance these goals, CDC/ATSDR conducts government-to-government 
consultations with elected tribal officials or their authorized 
representatives. Consultation is an enhanced form of communication that 
emphasizes trust, respect, and shared responsibility. It is an open and 
free exchange of information and opinion among parties that leads to 
mutual understanding and comprehension.
    Matters for Discussion: The TAC and CDC leaders' discussions will 
include the following public health topics: Adverse childhood 
experiences, e-cigarettes, motor vehicle-related injury prevention, and 
CDC's budget.
    During the 14th Biannual Tribal Consultation Session, tribes and 
CDC leaders will engage in a listening session with CDC's director and 
roundtable discussions with CDC senior leaders. Tribes will also have 
an opportunity to present testimony about tribal health issues.
    Tribal leaders are encouraged to submit written testimony by 
January 8, 2016, to Alleen R. Weathers, Public Health Advisor for the 
Tribal Support Unit, OSTLTS, via mail to 4770 Buford Highway NE., MS E-

    Based on the number of tribal leaders giving testimony and the time
