Statement of Administration Policy: H.R. 4004 - Indian Tribal Justice Act

(SENT 7/27/92)
(House)
(Miller (D) California)

The Administration opposes House passage of H.R. 4004, because the bill:

—   fails to address directly the obstacles that prevent judicial independence and impartiality in tribal courts;

—   unnecessarily duplicates on-going Federal services and programs; and

—   authorizes appropriations that foster unrealistic expectations of increased funding and expanded Federal assistance.
