Senate Indian Affairs Committee agenda
Thursday, June 22, 2006
Update: S.660 was removed from the committee's agenda. The Abramoff report was released and can be found here.
The Senate Indian Affairs Committee is holding a business meeting today to vote on the Jack Abramoff report and consider other pending matters.
The Abramoff report is generating intense interest. The committee will present the results of its investigation and make recommendations on possible reforms.
Of the bills on the agenda, the most prominent is S.660, a bill to extend federal recognition to the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. The Lumbees are currently subject to a termination-era law that forbids them from seeking recognition through the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The agenda for the meeting follows:
In re Tribal Lobbying Matters Report and Recommendations
S.2464, the Fort McDowell Water Rights Settlement Revision Act of 2006
S.3501, the Shivwits Band of Paiute Water Rights Settlement Amendments of 2006
S.3526, the Indian Land Consolidation Act Amendments of 2006
S.660, the Lumbee Recognition Act
