Enrolling the Pigford, Cobell Settlements

Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined with Democratic Members of the House and Senate to sign the Claims Resolution Act--legislation to provide funding to settle African American farmers’ and Native Americans’ lawsuits against the federal government. The cases are known as Pigford and Cobell. The House passed the legislation Tuesday; the Senate passed it last month. The bill now goes to President Obama for his signature into law.
