John McCain (chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators McCain and Inouye. Statement Of Hon. John McCain, U.S. Senator From Arizona, Chairman, Committee On Indian Affairs The Chairman. Good morning. I´d like to welcome the witnesses here today to present testimony on the proposed settlement and accommodation agreements between the Department of Justice, the Hopi Tribe, the Navajo Nation, and the Navajo families residing on the Hopi Partitioned Lands. First, I´d like to congratulate all the parties for their dedication and hard work in crafting these historic agreements. These agreements are the product of many years of negotiation under the auspices of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals medication process. I understand there are factions in both the Hopi Tribe and the Navajo Nation who will voice their opposition to this proposal. I believe that these agreements represent a realistic effort to settle the claims of the Hopi Tribe against the United States and provide accommodation to hundreds of Navajo families residing on Hopi partitioned lands. For those of you involved in the process, I know it has not been easy and implementing the settlement may be as difficult as it was to reach these agreements. Last year, in a hearing on the reauthorization of the Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation, I cautioned the leaders of both tribes that the days of Congress continuing to pour money into the relocation program are rapidly coming to an end. I am pleased that they have heard these warnings and taken them to heart. For those individuals who are inclined to oppose the settlement in hopes of something better coming along, let me say that the Federal budgetary pressures alone require that the relocation program must soon be brought to an orderly and certain conclusion.
