Statement of the President on the Final Approval of the Cobell Settlement

Excerpt:

I welcome the final approval of the Cobell settlement agreement, clearing the way for reconciliation between the trust beneficiaries and the federal government.   While Elouise Cobell, the named plaintiff in this case is no longer with us, her legacy will be a renewed commitment to our trust relationship with Indian Country.    I thank her for her honorable work, and also want to thank the leaders at the Departments of the Interior, Justice and Treasury who helped reach this conclusion. If Congress doesn't act, the typical middle-class family will see their taxes go up by $2,200 next year, negatively affecting businesses and retailers across the nation.
