RESOLUTION #84-F-06
WHEREAS, the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians is in
support of its member Tribes pursuing their self-
determination/self-sufficiency goals and
objectives; and
WHEREAS, the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians
recognize that economic development is a vital part
of the Tribes pursuits towards self-
determination/self-sufficiency and improving their
social and economic opportunities both on and off
the reservations; and
WHEREAS, the Bureau of Indian Affairs has an activity and
element within its budget categories that provides
for a wide range of economic development activities
including planning short and long range projects,
Overall Economic Development Plans, and
implementation of project(s); and
WHEREAS, the U.S. House, particularly the Sub-Committee on
Appropriations, has restrained the use of this
activity by the Tribes for any purpose within
economic development activities with the exception
of the special "Economic Development Initiative"
Program that is being implemented by the Bureau's
Central Office at the present; and
WHEREAS, the Tribes have a serious need for the availability
of this activity and element (3700/3100) for
planning, coordinating, and implementing the
various economic development projects pursued by
each Tribe. The Tribes need to have this
activity/element available immediately to plan
projects or implement projects for short range
purposes, but the Tribes also need to be able to
have access to this program activity for the ZBB
process if the Tribes have prioritized the need for
this program and wish to shift PL 93-638
contracting funds from other categories into
economic development; and
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Affiliated Tribes of
Northwest Indians does hereby urge the Bureau of
Indian Affairs to take whatever measures are
necessary to provide the availability of this
economic development activity (3700-activity/3100-
element) for the use of the Tribes PL 93-638
contract funds; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Affiliated Tribes of
Northwest Indians urges the U.S. House Sub-
Committee on Appropriations and Chairman Sidney
R. Yates to support this effort and legislate the
appropriate language to authorize the full use of
this activity by the Tribes acknowledging the need
and consistency of this action with the
encouragements and funding opportunities by
Congress and the President for Indian economic
development goals.
CERTIFICATION

Conference of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, at
