07/23/12 - Remarks offered on the House floor on H. R. 2362 - Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

H.R. 2362 is authored by our colleague from Oklahoma (Mr. Cole).

We continue to be reminded that it takes months and years for the Bureau of Indian Affairs to approve simple lease agreements. For years, many tribes have pleaded with Congress to let them manage their lands with less Federal supervision. The bureaucratic redtape is often cited as the main culprit for the lack of economic development on reservations.

Last week, the Senate passed H.R. 205, the HEARTH Act. The HEARTH Act promotes greater tribal self-determination by allowing tribes to govern their own regulations governing certain leasing of their lands. H.R. 2362, as amended, would give tribes additional options in attracting economic development. The Indian Tribal Trade and Investment Demonstration Project Act would allow any Federally recognized tribe to engage in business with companies of any World Trade Organization member country. It's a good start. It is something that we should be addressing more aggressively.

With that, I urge adoption of this legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.
