WASHINGTON - A Senate Committee on Indian Affairs hearing March 15
addressed amendments to the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence
Prevention Act, but a good deal of the committee's questioning focused
on the IHS' failure to enact provisions of the original legislation.

''Aren't there provisions of the 1990 act that haven't been
implemented?'' Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., asked IHS Deputy Director
Robert McSwain. Among the disregarded provisions are an IHS-specific
national registry of child abusers and regional family health centers.
