Hi Dominic-
I received an email on Monday from Tony with the Senate Indian Affairs Committee asking for an update on the Bison Range language. Do you have an idea of when we may have a cleared version?

I don’t have an ETA on a signature, but I can tell you I will have my comments to you by COB today. I know Tony was on our call, but wasn’t aware of a request from SCIA. My understanding was that the only requesting offices were Tester and Zinke. Can you fwd me each request you’ve received? Thanks!

Hi Dominic-
The only two requests we have received are from Tester (they sent to the Department, I have not seen the request) and Zinke (I forwarded you the email). As you know, Tester is the Vice Chairman on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. Tony works for Tester as his committee staff and is working directly with the Senators personal office on this issue.

Roya –
Here are my edits to the TDA. They are mostly organizational and formatting and omitting the Findings section as we discussed. This is with Chris now, so there may be additional edits or questions, but wanted you to have this to start to look at. Also, I found the forwarded request from Zinke’s office!
Thanks,
Dominic

Here’s the latest on the TDA — Short story: We should have a final and signed cover letter by Monday at the latest. Long story: Chris approved the revised draft (with one minor alteration) that I sent you yesterday. We’ve shared with SOL office, division of Indian Affairs and Barry Roth for last glance. I gather these folks have been engaged in the development of the draft, so I don’t expect any other major changes.
Have a good weekend!

Dominic-
Here is the feedback I got from folks in Refuges: It is important to include language that distinguishes the circumstances of the NBR divestiture from other potential divestiture proposals. Therefore, we would like to keep distinguishing language front and center– in a findings section– rather than dropping it as suggested in this draft, or including it in supporting language. We understand the findings does not have the effect of law. The purpose of including this language is to distinguish the facts surrounding NBR divestment.
Thoughts?
