From the transcript
All these years later, there is not enough funding for the tribe's important social programs. Representative Randall's legislation would amend the Tribe Settlement Act. It would give the tribe the authority to withdraw and manage their trust fund account under a secretarial approved plan, just like other federally recognized tribes can. And next on the agenda, we have Representative Begich's, uh, HR 8674. And thank you again for traveling from Alaska to testify on this act.
