Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, today I introduce legislation to make certain technical corrections to a number of unrelated laws affecting Indian tribes.
I am pleased to be joined in this effort by my friend and colleague from Hawaii, Senator Inouye.
The bill will allow us to address a series of minor amendments to Indian laws in one piece of legislation, without having to introduce and legislate on a number of separate bills.
I conferred with the delegation of each state involved on each of these amendments and the delegations generally support the respective amendment affecting tribes in their states.
The bill contains a total of 14 amendments addressing a variety of issues including: increasing the allowable lease terms of reservation lands; reservation boundary adjustments; amendments to facilitate water rights settlements; clarification of federal service areas for tribes; and a number of others.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the RECORD.
