Currently involved in several high profile investigations, including the Cerro Grande fire and other fires, the US House Committee on Resources may be too busy to deal with a Congressional probe on the Mashantucket Pequot Settlement Act of 1983.

According to spokesman Steven Hansen, the Committee has not received a copy of Representative Sam Gejdenson's (D Conn) letter requesting a congressional probe but said the Committee staff first has to review the letter and then make a recommendation to Chair Representative Don Young (D Alaska), who will make the final decision. The Committee can also refer the matter to other agencies.
