Officials of the Cowlitz Tribe of Washington say they are no immediate plans to locate a casino on 150 acres of land they want placed into trust.

The land would be used for an initial reservation. The tribe's recognition, finalized by the Clinton administration, was affirmed by Assistant Secretary Neal McCaleb in January after challenges were raised by the Quinault Nation, a federally recognized tribe in Washington.
