The members of the Task Force included W. Ron Allen (Chairman), Ken Smith, Jim Sizemore, Robert Peterson, and Lloyd Coon; and WHEREAS, the members of the ATNI Task Force were requested by the Co-Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs to participate in the development of the amendments (S.1703 & HR 1223) to P.L. 93-638 that would remove many obstacles in the Self- Determination Act process; and WHEREAS, P.L. 100-472 has become law authorizing the amendments; and WHEREAS, an important proviso of the new law is that the Tribes will participate in the drafting of the implementing regulations; and WHEREAS, ATNI recognizes that the development of these regulations are extremely important as they will translate legislative authorization into administrative terms and therefore determine the effectiveness of the amendments to P.L. 93-638; and WHEREAS, the administrative requirements imposed in the past have more accurately reflected the interests of the managing agencies as opposed to Congressional intentions; and WHEREAS, the Northwest tribes have devoted a considerable amount of time and effort in the development of the P.L. 93-638 amendments; and WHEREAS, the Northwest tribes desires to continue with full participation in the process of implementing the P.L. 93-638 amendments and their accompanying regulations; now THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that ATNI does hereby request that the Secretary of Interior include Lloyd Coon (ATNI Delegate) and W. Ron Allen (ATNI Alternate) as members of the ATNI Task Force to participate on the regulation writing team for the amendments to the P.L. 93-638; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that ATNI authorized its Task Force members to continue its involvement in this process to assure that the regulations for P.L. 100-472 (the 638 Amendment Bill) are consistent with the intent of the law. CERTIFICATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following resolution was adopted at the 1989 Winter Conference of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, at the Executive Inn Hotel in Tacoma, Washington on February 1-3, 1989 with a quorum present. _____________________________ _____________________________ Joe DeLaCruz, President Georgia C.
