Excerpt from Seminole Tribe of Florida V. State of Florida The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:33 a.m. in room G-50, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. John McCain (chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators McCain, Inouye, Reid, and Wellstone. Statement of hon. John mccain, U.S. senator from arizona, chairman, committee on indian affairs The Chairman. I'd like to welcome the witnesses here today to present testimony today on the impact of the recent Supreme Court decision on Seminole Tribe v. Florida on the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Let me start out by saying that it's clearly in the interest of everyone in this room that all class III Indian gaming be conducted pursuant to and regulated by tribal/State compacts. I believe that the Seminole decision does not diminish the need for earnest good faith negotiations between State and tribal governments to develop compacts that effectively regulate class III gaming activities on Indian lands, I, like many of my colleagues in the Senate, am interested in hearing from the witnesses and engaging them on the legal implications of the Seminole decision, as well as last year's Rumsey decision in the 9th Circuit Court. I am especially interested in hearing their views on the impact of these decisions on existing gaming compacts, ongoing compact negotiations, and the proposed authority of the Secretary of the Interior to issue regulatory procedures under which class III gaming may lawfully occur on Indian lands in the absence of a tribal/State compact. Finally, let me say that there were a large number of individuals and organizations who wanted to testify at this hearing, but, due to our time constraints and the specific focus of this hearing on the legal implications of the Seminole and Rumsey decisions, we were unable to accommodate them. They've been encouraged to submit written testimony for the hearing record, which will remain open for 2 weeks.
