Cutler calling back Monday Deputy Assistant to the President 6/8/98 for Intergovernmental Affairs White House Old Executive Office Building, Room 106 Washington, D.C. 20502 Dear Mrs. Cutler: On behalf of the Grand Ronde Tribal Council, we would like to extend our deepest appreciation for the time you spent with us during a meeting this March. In addition, we would like to thank you for speaking before the National Congress of American Indians general assembly. We realize that in your position time is of the essence, and the fact that you would direct so much of your time and energy is really a reflection of your dedication to Native American issues. In our discussion, we had mentioned that the Tribe is a major sponsor of this years National Association of Counties (NACO '98). As you know, the Tribe takes great pride in working with our local communities. We strive to make ourselves leaders in the area of intergovernmental relations, and hope that we can serve as an example not only in the state of Oregon, but throughout the country as well. This is why we feel that NACO '98 is such a worthwhile event. With the NACO '98 conference being held in Portland, Oregon scheduled for July 17-21, 1998, we would like to once again extend an invitation for you to come and see our progress in Grand Ronde. Thank you again for all your efforts in regards to Native American issues, and the time that you have given to all tribes. We look forward to seeing you soon, hopefully in the wonderful state of Oregon. Best regards, Kathryn Harrison Kathryn Harrison Tribal Chair Justin Martin lo Justin Martin Intergovernmental Affairs
