BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
The Santa Fe Indian School in Santa Fe, New Mexico, established in the late 1800s, is a Federal off-reservation boarding school for the 19 pueblo governors of New Mexico. On December 20, 2000, Public Law 106 568 transferred 115 acres of property to the school with certain limitations. H.R. 1556 would allow the Santa Fe Indian School to use its 115 acres of land for economic development. The bill will retain the prohibition on Indian gaming on the transferred land.
I urge adoption of the measure, and I reserve the balance of my time.
