RATIFYING CONVEYANCE OF A PORTION OF THE JICARILLA APACHE RESERVATION TO RIO ARRIBA COUNTY, STATE OF NEW MEXICO -- (House of Representatives - September 27, 2006)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. KIND. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Madam Speaker, I just want to take a moment to again commend my colleague from New Mexico (Mr. Udall) for his determination in getting this legislation before us today. Some of the more difficult and contentious issues that we deal with in this place are often issues involving property lines, jurisdictions of towns, private landowners, and Indian tribes. Mr. Udall has never shied away from such matters, especially when they affect the Indian tribes in New Mexico, and I commend him for his leadership on this issue and encourage adoption of this legislation.

Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
