The Tribes are therefore wrong to rely (Br. J .A. The court pointed in particular to the residual funds retained by IHS for inherent federal functions, i.e., funds necessary for IHS to exist as a federal agency at all. 76a-77a. See S. Rep. No. Further, they signed a series of treaties with the federal government that seemed to protect what remained of their lands. A Cherokee tribe cannot sue for legal recognition as a foreigner, the Supreme Court ruled. Indian Health Service Circular 96-04, Contract Support Costs (April 1, 1996) (J.A. With respect to ongoing contracts, tribes received the same amount of CSC funding as in the previous year plus a proportionate share of any general increase in overall CSC funding. 3009-205, 3009-212.2 In the relevant fiscal years, IHS's lump-sum appropriation for Indian Health Services ranged from $1.65 billion (1994) to $1.81 billion (1997). B. Date of Decision: March 5, 1831. That is so, in the Tribes' view, even though the competing demands are by or on behalf of other Tribes that would have comparable claims to the same appropriation. L. No. From that point forward during the fiscal year, the Tribes could elect to discontinue performing services under their agreements with IHS if they were dissatisfied with the level of funding for their CSCs. That provision recognizes that IHS must apportion scarce resources for Indian health services programs among numerous competing demands by or on behalf of Tribes, and that the ISDA does not give any single Tribe an entitlement to full funding at the expense of the needs of all other Tribes. In Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, Attorney General Wirt argued that the Cherokee Nation was a . 10 The Tribes assert as a threshold matter (Br. 25 U.S.C. 3009-212, 3009-213. IHS's annual appropriation falls far short of the funds necessary to address the health care needs of Indian tribes and their members. 450f(a)(1). 1, 20, 1800 WL 1779 (Ct. Cl. 274, 100th Cong., 1st Sess. In 1988, Congress added a "Tribal Self-Governance Demonstration Project" to the ISDA, enabling participating Tribes to step further into the shoes of a federal agency.

Then based upon the Region sheet provided, update that new column by state to use in your analysis. Like an agency, the Tribe is allocated a portion of the total funds made available by Congress, and the Tribe has no obligation to deliver a specific quantity of services or to continue services in excess of the amount of funds received. They held that the Cherokee Nation was a dependent nation to the United States. 1, 8 L.Ed. 837, 106th Cong., 2d Sess. The provisions enacted in 2000 broke no new ground, as the preceding discussion makes clear. The IBCA held that, although contract funding was subject to the availability of appropriations, the overall lump-sum appropriation for Indian Health Services was sufficient to fund CSCs for the Cherokee Nation. Unlike a typical procurement contractor, a Tribe that elects to enter into a self-determination contract under the ISDA does not commit to supply a specific level of services in exchange for an agreed-upon payment. 78a-87a (listing statutes), speaks in terms of subjecting the "authority" of a government officer to "enter into contracts" to the furnishing of appropriations by Congress.15 The purpose of those provisions is to make clear that an agency lacks authority to obligate the government fisc unless Congress makes sufficient appropriations legally available.16. Rep. No. 15. That cannot be correct. 214 4, 384 5.3 Those same categories are used throughout IHS's budget and appropriations process: the agency apportions its funding among those categories in its annual Justification of Appropriations; the President allocates IHS's budget among the same categories when submitting the annual federal budget to Congress; and the Appropriations Committees earmark amounts in their reports for each category. 450f note (1994)) (adding ISDA Tit. The project authorized a limited number of Tribes, each of which had performed multiple self-determination contracts for three fiscal years, to enter into an overarching self-governance "compact," under which the Tribe could redesign its contracted programs and reallocate funding among programs. The Cherokee Counter-Defendants filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that (1) certain claims are barred by prior orders in the D.C. action, (2) the Cherokee Nation enjoys sovereign immunity, and (3) certain laws relied upon by the Freedmen Defendants do not provide a private right of action. II, Pub. The Cherokee people. App. 03-853, should be reversed. 105-227, 314, 112 Stat. The relevant opinions of the Interior Board of Contract Appeals (Board) (Pet. The judgment of the court of appeals in No. 02-1472 (Pet. 97 (1995) ($153,040,000 for FY 1996); S. Rep. No. Cherokee Nation v. Georgia,, was a United States Supreme Court case. An exception to that constraint arises when Congress confers "contract authority" to bind the government without regard to appropriations. 385 8, 386 10. The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation (collectively, the Tribes) entered into self-governance compacts with IHS in 1993 and 1994, respectively. In Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831), however, Chief Justice John Marshall declared that because Indian nations were dependent entities, they had no standing before the judiciary. In any event, the Secretary had no obligation to pay for CSCs with the unobligated balances. Id. The Tribes argue (Br. EXPERT CONTENT. By 1998, about half of the Departments' com-bined appropriations for Indian programs was administered by Tribes pursuant to self-determination contracts. 2.

"); 25 U.S.C. 1. The only remaining candidate as a source of funds to pay the additional CSCs that the Tribes seek in this case was the amount needed to fund IHS's inherent federal functions. 609, 105th Cong., 2d Sess. Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, 30 U.S. (5 Pet.) See 25 U.S.C. The Tribes divide the critical sentence in Section 450j-1(b) into two distinct clauses, "availability" and "reduction," and urge an unduly cramped construction of each. Here, even if the Secretary initially erred in funding CSCs at the levels earmarked in the committee reports, Congress in Section 314 subsequently ratified the Secretary's actions. When Congress directed in Section 314 that the amount of funds for CSCs distributed by the Secretary in the relevant fiscal years "are the total amounts available for those years," Congress directly ratified the Secretary's decision to distribute those, and only those, amounts. By specifying in a statute that the "authority" of an agency "to enter into contracts" is conditioned on the availability of appropriations, e.g., 25 U.S.C. The Secretary was not required to make funds for inherent federal functions available to pay CSCs. See, e.g., Red Lion Broadcast. That clause renders "the provision of funds" by the Secretary for CSCs "subject to the availability of appropriations." 02-1472 was granted the same day, and the cases were consolidated. See H.R. The funding for those three categories of activities is on a zero-sum basis. Indian Self-Determination Memorandum 92-2, Contract Support Cost Policy (Feb. 27, 1992) (J.A. See 25 U.S.C. An appropriation in the "'shall be available' family of earmarking language presumptively 'fences in' the earmarked sum (both maximum and minimum)." 2681-288 (Section 314).7 Since the appropriations act for fiscal year 1998, moreover, Congress has imposed an explicit, "not to exceed" cap funding by IHS for overall CSCs. 450j-1(b). E.g., United States v. Heinszen & Co., 206 U.S. 370 (1907). App. The Cherokee Nation is a sovereign and independent state. The ISDA also provides that the Secretary shall pay "contract support costs" to cover certain direct and indirect expenses incurred by the Tribes in administering those contracts. It also ignores the necessary consequences in this setting of the unique, government- to-government nature of agreements under the ISDA. See J.A. 4590. J.A. A contrary conclusion would be untenable. The Office of the Attorney General receives multiple daily inquiries about the effect of the United States Supreme Court decision in McGirt v.Oklahoma on the Cherokee Nation, and our position is clear: the Cherokee Nation Reservation continues to exist today as it has since it was . From our private database of 32,900+ case briefs. J.A. That agreement similarly states that the parties "understand that, should the residual amount be decreased," "additional funding [would be] made available." The threshold flaw in that approach is that it considers each clause in a vacuum. 25 U.S.C. The Act contains only limited reasons for declination to contract by [the] Secretary." Finally, on reconsideration, the IBCA rejected the Secretary's reliance on Section 450j-1(b)'s condition that he was not required to reduce funding for programs serving a Tribe to make funds available to another Tribe. Of course, the very existence of a self-determination program requires the Secretary to undertake some contract-related functions as part of his inherent federal functions. 1303 ("amounts appropriated to or earmarked in committee reports * * * for payments to tribes and tribal organizations for contract support costs * * * are the total amounts available for fiscal years 1994 through 2003 for such purposes"). 450j-1(b); 25 U.S.C. Plaut v. Spendthrift Farm, Inc., 514 U.S. 211, 218 (1995); see Robertson v. Seattle Audubon Soc., 503 U.S. 429, 441 (1992). As a result, the Act "uniquely requires the Secretary * * * to continue providing direct services until such time as a tribe freely chooses to contract to operate those services." 1a-35a. The court instead held that, under 25 U.S.C. The Supreme Court refused to hear the suit, for it said that the Cherokee had no original jurisdiction, because the people were not a state. H.R. Cherokee Nation v. Georgia United States Supreme Court 30 U.S. (5 Pet.) In the relevant fiscal years, the agency allocated roughly 1.5% to 2.0% of the Indian Health Services appropriation to inherent federal functions, leaving all remaining sums available for contracting by Tribes. Pet. Rep. No. And the "amount of funds required by subsection (a)" in turn includes only those "administrative functions that are otherwise contractable." S. Rep.

Peck, 5 Cranch. J.A. That approach treats each Tribe's claim to ISDA funds as entirely unaffected by the needs of other Tribes, which is inconsistent with the distinctive, government-to-government nature of ISDA contracts. The basic authority of all agencies to enter into contracts is not "contract authority," because that basic authority is contingent on the availability of appropriated funds. The Secretary did not reduce CSC funding in order to pay for "contract administration" or "federal functions" in violation of Section 450j-1(b). Pet. Decided in 1831 3. An individual Tribe's "tribal share" of administrative support funding thus expressly does not include funds necessary for inherent federal functions. L. No. 02-1472, should be affirmed, and the judgment of the Federal Circuit in Thompson v. Cherokee Nation, No. 1. The Supreme Court case of Worcester v. Georgia holds great historical significance for its ruling on native sovereignty and also its failure to help the Cherokee Nation retain its lands. Significantly, moreover, under the ISDA, the condition that the provision of funds is subject to availability of appropriations is not simply a provision in a contract. 450j-1(b) and the ISDA model agreement, that the provision of funds is subject to the availability of appropriations. IHS operated under such constraints when it directly administered all health programs at numerous local service units. Defenses Based on Individual Characteristics 450j-1(b)(2) (prohibiting reduction in contract funding in subsequent years except pursuant to, inter alia, reduction in appropriations for the program); 25 U.S.C. 13-14. Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, 279 F.3d at 668. With respect to the $7.5 million appropriation for the ISD Fund, the court agreed with the Ninth Circuit that Congress thereby "limit[ed] the amount available for new or expended CSCs." The ISDA, however, makes payment "subject to the availability of appropriations," and declares that the Secretary "is not required to reduce funding for programs, projects or activities serving a tribe to make funds available" for contract support and other self-determination contract costs. Id. 25 U.S.C. 103-413, 108, 108 Stat. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 (Indians) Document 10. That is particularly the case in view of the acute funding constraints on IHS programs. The Indian Health Service's Appropriations And Funding. Contrary to the Tribes' position, appropriations are not automatically "available" to pay a Tribe's full CSCs simply because the total amount of the lump sum appropriation exceeds that individual Tribe's CSCs. Congress did not compel the agency to shut its doors and cease operations-and thereby to render itself unable to contract with any Tribes-in order to enable the payment of full CSCs to some Tribes.12. J.A. 81a-115a. 1658, Congress makes clear that the agency lacks "contract authority" to bind the government without regard to appropriations. With respect to ongoing contracts, the court held that the Secretary had a duty to pay full CSCs and that there were "available funds" within the annual lump-sum appropriation. Subsequently, Congress repealed the demonstration project and permanently codified self-governance provisions for BIA (in 1994) and IHS (in 2000) as Titles IV and V of the ISDA, respectively. Instead, a Tribe, just like a federal agency, is allocated its portion of the total amount of funds made available by Congress, and the Tribe is under no obligation to deliver services "in excess of the amount of funds awarded." Id. The appropriations act for each relevant year specified that $7.5 million "shall remain available" for CSCs for new and expanded contracts. And there is no suggestion in the appropriations acts of an intention to require that any particular sums be obligated to self-determination contracts. That the "funds made available" through self-determination contracts are "deemed to be obligated" sheds no light on the amount of funds so obligated. If, as the Federal Circuit believed, the Secretary was obligated to reprogram funds for inherent federal functions to pay the underfunded amount of CSCs, the agency was required to contract itself out of existence. L. No. 100-472, 205, 102 Stat. Those constraints by their terms pertain solely to the "amount of funds required by subsection (a)," i.e., 25 U.S.C. 542 (FY 1995 residual); J.A. See id. 13, and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA), 25 U.S.C. Congress also enacted a corollary definition of "Tribal share" as "an Indian tribe's portion of all funds and resources that support secretarial programs * * * that are not required by the Secretary for performance of inherent Federal functions." 1992). 21a. Both Tribes contracted in those years to undertake new or expanded programs for which they did not receive CSC funding because IHS used the $7.5 million ISD Fund appropriation to fund requests ahead of the Tribes' in the ISD queue. 108-108, 308, 117 Stat. 2 IHS also receives a separate lump-sum appropriation for "Indian Health Facilities," which provides funds for construction and maintenance of health care and sanitation facilities. 450j-1(a)(1) (providing for funding of "supportive administrative functions that are otherwise contractable"). Politics Case Brief 1 - Case Brief 9/07/12 1. And in 1996 and 1997, the overall shortfall in CSC funding, including both new or expanded contracts and ongoing contracts, was approximately $43 million and $82 million, respectively. 4271 (1994) (codified as amended at 25 U.S.C. 51-52 (1998). Funding under self-governance compacts is provided through annual funding agreements subject to the same funding provisions that apply to self-determination contracts. In Section 314, Congress ratified the Secretary's actions taken under longstanding budgeting practice and an allocation framework of which all Tribes were fully aware from the outset of the funding year.

Such ratifications apply to cases pending on the date of enactment and eliminate a right to relief that would otherwise exist. 199; Hughes v. Edwards, 9 Wheat. 25 U.S.C. By enacting the same language in the self-governance provisions, Congress indicated its approval of the Secretary's interpretation. IHS allocates its entire Indian Health Services lump-sum appropriation either to programs and activities serving Tribes or to inherent federal functions.

On March 5, 1999, the Tribes brought an action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, claiming an entitlement to full CSC funding under the ISDA and their contracts. 274, supra, at 79. In response to the provisions that added funding for CSCs, see p. 6, supra, the Director of IHS expressed concerns that those "costs would be more than the IHS would have available for the program's direct operation" and that "IHS would be required to obtain the funds from elsewhere in the IHS system." After your data is loaded, I suggest doing an ALTER table command and add column 'Region'. Date of the Delivery of the Verdict: March 3rd, 1832.

While the agency distributed all of those funds to Tribes, the amounts were insufficient to permit full funding of CSCs. Finally, the court explained that its conclusions were reinforced by Section 314 of the 1999 appropriations act (see p. 13, supra), which had established that "no more funds would be available to pay CSCs" for fiscal years 1994-1998 above the $7.5 million appropriation for CSCs for new or expanded programs and the total budget for CSCs earmarked in the Committee Reports.

The Tribes' interpretation of the appropriations acts is erroneous. That is incorrect. II, 108 Stat. As of 1998, approximately 45% of IHS's funding for programs was administered by Tribes through self-determination contracts. At the same time, the ISDA makes clear that certain agency responsibilities are "beyond the scope of programs, functions, services, or activities" that are contractable, "because [they] include[] activities" that must be conducted by the agency and "cannot lawfully be carried out by the contractor."

L. No. 128 (1872). If Congress's sole intention in Section 314 was to prevent the use of leftover balances, there would be no reason for Congress to apply its provisions to fiscal years for which the five-year period has elapsed and the accounts have been closed.

In the view of the House Appropriations Committee, "[w]e have reached a point at which we can no longer offset [contract support] costs to any great extent by continuing to downsize the Federal bureaucracies in BIA and IHS. As we explain in the next section, the Secretary was not required to divert to the two tribal plaintiffs in this case, for their CSCs, the funds needed for IHS to exist as an agency and serve all Tribes. IHS allocated its CSC funds in those years in accordance with guidelines that had been established in 1992, in consultation with Tribes, in anticipation of funding shortfalls for CSCs.
