Annotation: 

Reports favorably on H.R. 1426; recommends passage. Detailed “Background” section shows Lumbee efforts for federal recognition since 1899. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that when funds are appropriated, the bill will cost $80-$90 million annually. Minority views oppose circumventing the federal acknowledgement process.
