The Bush administration needs to back up First Lady Laura Bush's recent visit to the Navajo Nation with "swift action," The Farmington Daily Times says in an editorial today.

The paper says conditions on the reservation -- including poverty -- need to be addressed by the federal government in a meaningful way. "This is the second visit by the White House in three years to the Navajo Nation and we hope Laura Bush will be able to convey the needs of the Navajo people to the president without the empty rhetoric of the last presidential junket in 2000," the paper says.
