THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 2002 A final decision on the recognition of the Chinook Nation of Washington has again been delayed by the Bush administration. Tribal chairman Gary Johnson and attorney Dennis Whittlesey criticized the four-month delay. Both said Assistant Secretary Neal McCaleb isn't doing his job and failed to dedicate proper resources to the case. Secretary of Interior Gale Norton on Tuesday concurred with a memo written by McCaleb to delay a decision by four months. Get the Story:
