The Senate Indian Affairs Committee held a hearing on Indian gaming this morning. The witnesses included four tribal and non-tribal people from Oregon, where the Warm Springs Tribes are proposing an off-reservation casino.
You can download audio files in MP3 format. There were some technical difficulties at the beginning of the hearing so the introductory statement by Sen. Craig Thomas (R-Wyoming) was not captured.
