THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 2001 As previously reported by Indianz.Com the court monitor in the Cobell v. Norton case has been investigating the Trust Asset and Accounting Management System, or TAAMS. Joseph Kieffer issued his report today. The 130-page report heavily criticizes the government for the system, which is designed to provide daily management functions of the trust assets of American Indians and tribes. Specifically, the report states the government's plan to implement TAAMS does not meet the court-ordered standard for trust reform and may not ever. The report also says the government was, at best, "misleading" UD District Judge Royce Lamberth about the promises of TAAMS, and, at worst, outright wrong. The report also says the government purposely failed to tell Lamberth that TAAMS failed two system tests back in 1999. As reported by Indianz.Com, TAAMS also failed a critical test in June of this year. The failure will delay the system for up to a year, top-level officials told Indianz.Com. Get the Report:
