I believe that it is equally important for all of our law enforcement agencies on the northern border to have the resources available to combat these incursions. including the Colville Tribe. Congress has in past years funded this program at the $630.000 level and our colleagues should know that both the Colville Tribe and the Spokane Tribe contribute significant funds o their own and secure matching funds from various sources to keep these patrols running. Given the critical importance of this program to both border security and homeland security. and given the relatively modest request. I very much hope the chairman can support this request in conference. with an eye toward inclusion in the conference report.
