Mr. Faleomavaega. Thank you, Mr. Frank. 



Without objection, gentlemen, your statements will be ftiUy made 

 part of the record. So I just wanted to note that. 



Mr. Anderson. 



Mr. Anderson. Yes, thank you very much. 



I'll be brief, and I won't even try to follow Billy with my com- 

 ments. 



I have the dubious distinction of often times having to follow 

 Billy, and it's always very flat compared to his presentation. 



So what we would like to do is provide some information for the 

 record. 



We have a document which was signed by the tribes in Washing- 

 ton State with the State of Washington called the Centennial Ac- 

 cord. And it was a govemment-to-govemment relationship that was 

 documented in 1989 and we'll make that part of the record. 



It I guess shows the type of relationship that the tribes in Wash- 

 ington State have worked out with the State of Washington to 

 work on issues in a cooperative and forthright manner, respecting 

 each others sovereignty. 



Mr. Faleomavaega. Without objection, the documents will be 

 made part of the record. 



[Editor's note. — Documents submitted by Mr. Anderson may be 

 found in the hearing files.] 



Mr. Anderson. I have a couple of other excerpts fi*om reports. 

 One in particular is the Report of the United States of America to 

 the United Nations' Conference on Environment and Development, 

 in which the Northwest Tribal efforts were highlighted as a good 

 example of how tribes and the state and federal government can 

 work together in cooperative natural resources management. 



There's a memorandum of understanding that the tribes have ne- 

 gotiated with the State of Washington, it talks about how to work 

 out environmental issues without necessarily litigating issues. It 

 does reserve the opportunity to litigate, and that is available here. 



And finally, I have a series of reports, one on timber, fish, wild- 

 life, one on the tribal water quality program, and one on our fish- 

 ery management program and our annual report that go into great 

 detail about programs that Billy has talked about, and show how 

 we've been able to package certain things. 



And then, finally, we have a video tape here with four different 

 videos on it, one about the Fish Commission and our member 

 tribes, one on shell fish, negotiations and litigation that's very im- 

 portant to us right now, one on the timber, fish, wildlife initiative, 

 which was a very ground-breaking pioneering effort, and finally a 

 video that won an Emmy called "Moon's Prayer," £ind that talks 

 about the tribal perspectives on the environment. And it was very 

 well received, seen by hundreds of thousands of people in the Pa- 

 cific Northwest. 



Mr. Faleomavaega. Without objection, it will be made part of 

 the record. 



[Editor's note. — The videotape may be found in the hearing 

 files.] 



Mr. Faleomavaega. I want to ask you, Mr. Anderson, do you 

 have just one tape? 



Mr. Anderson. I have one tape, but I'd be very glad to make 

 other tapes available.
