They prefer a different bill but recommend this one with amendments. The bill aims to increase Indian control over federal programs through contracts with tribes and provides grants to help tribes meet federal contracting standards. It also allows for the detailing of Civil Service personnel to tribes for program implementation.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
