Short Abstract:

In Public Law 102-573, language was included that required a report be prepared regarding the demonstration projects and submitted from the Secretary to the President for inclusion in the Fiscal Year 1999 budget request. Discussions with Indian Health Service staff have shown that the report was never prepared.

Given the substantial impact the demonstration projects have on the jurisdictional authority and contract health service delivery area of the Cherokee Nation, as well as other adjoining Tribes, it is imperative that the impact of the demonstration projects be evaluated. 

The costs for the study will be nominal as several reports, publications, etc. are available and direct information from affected Tribes and the demonstration projects can be easily attainable.
