IHS takeover top priority for Begaye

FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 2002

Having the Navajo Nation contract its health care from the Indian Health Service is one of President Kelsey Begaye's top priorities.

The proposal was defeated in tribal council but Begaye and council speaker Edward T. Begay revived it for a special session. The issue is one of several Begaye hopes to complete as he launches his bid for re-election.
