Victimized at high and sometimes alarming rates. Kpleks complex jurisdictional patterns still too often hamper investigations and impede justice and resources remain scarce. Report by the tribal law and Order Commission noted the need for almost 3,000 tribal Law Enforcement officers, a 50 staffing shortfall. Thats why the resources requested in the president s budget are vital. Excluding funding for prisons, the budget allocates almost 300 million for Public Safety activities in Indian Country. This level of funding would be historic and it would allow us to build on our progress and make in roads into solving the enduring and intractable problems faced by our tribal partners. For one thing, the budget would take a page from ctask to dedicate specific funding to tribal specific initiatives. A flexible tribal grant 7 set aside for programs for my office would give tribes reliable access to 111 million in grant resources. This would remove some of the unpredictability and anxiety around

Egypts president is in london today talking security with the british Prime Minister about the crash of that russian jet liner over the skies of egypt. British officials now saying it looks increasingly likely that the russian plane was brought down by a bomb. Because of that intelligence, the u. K. , ireland, and several ire lines suspending their flights to the red sea airport. Translator about ten months ago, our friends in u. K. Requested us to assure the security measures taken. At that time, we invited british delegations to take firsthand information about the security measures taken across all of our airports. Of course i cannot be sure, my experts cannot be sure, that it was a terrorist bomb that brought down that russian plane. But if the intelligence is and the judgment is, that that is a more likely than not outcome, then i think its right to act in the way that i did. Officials are working to get the strande

Which i thought was entirely appropriate for him to do so. The inappropriate thing for him was for him to go out in public and take a position on something he knew was coming before the court.

Another question . Im hoping the Supreme Court will weigh in on releasing withheld records regarding the jfk assassination. It brings to point an eresting statement made by the cia stood for catholics and action. We are a bit very Roman Catholic culture. I would like to draw a questi
