There has been no hearing before the Senate this session and there has never been an attempt by any member of the Nevada Congressional delegation to meet with Western Shoshone. Senator Reid (D. Nev.) and Chairman Campbell (R. Colo.) appear to be making the bill a top priority. In fact, Senator Reid has was quoted recently in the local press as stating: " I've told my staff I want the bill reported out of the Indian Affairs Committee...I won't let any other bills out until that one is reported out." In response to the hefty opposition to the bill, Reid is quoted: "I don't think it's fair to have dissidents hold up the bill." (emphasis added) Following are two sample letters sent by Organizations concerned about the Bill. If you or your organization would like to express your comments/concerns to Congress and need more information, please call us or check our website at the link below.
