Short Abstract:
For two consecutive days, January 22 and 23, the National Indian Health Board (NIHB) along with other Indian Organizations monitored S 1200, the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA) on the U.S. Senate floor. With strong leadership from Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), the Senate remained mostly on topic except for diversions to enact a 3.5% pay raise for troops in Iraq, and Floor Statements on the Economic Stimulus Package and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). With a deadline of February 5th, the Senate tabled IHCIA to pursue the reauthorization of the FISA.
