There was a lot of confusion as to wether or not there was a teleconference today and with whom it was with.
What I have been able to find out about the teleconference: 1) there is not one scheduled; 2) last in a conversation with Regis (NM Legislative council services), Kim Posich (Center on Law and Poverty) commented that he would like to put together a teleconference with the congressional delegation and tribal leadership. Apparently Regis thought that it was already arranged.
Then last week, Kim did mention that Regis would convene the NM legislators to converse with the congressional delegation. Regis asked me (Evelyn) to write a letter for the NM legislators to sign and which would be sent to the congressional delegation. That was done and in the letter there was a statement that informational statements were being prepared by tribal personnel and advocates and that this information would be sent directly by those individuals which is what was asked for in emails to you, April, Anthony and Maria. The addresses for recipients were not organized and there was question about Udall and Grisham.
What I can discern about what is happening today is: 1) no teleconference 2) we still need to get the statements into the congressional delegation. Here is a list that I can put together from correspondence. Let’s call a meeting to work out our organizational structure so that we are assured that everyone gets the same info all the time.
