The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA), enacted in 1988, created a legal mechanism to regulate gaming on Indian reservations. Accordingly, you requested the OIG to provide recommendations for improving the oversight functions of entities such as the Commission. You also expressed concern that the National Indian Gaming Commission (Commission) was underfunded and therefore unable to adequately monitor or conduct audits of Native American gambling activities. One concern was that certain abuses, such as the funneling of gambling profits away from Native Americans and the infiltration of organized crime into Indian gaming activities, may be going undetected and unprosecuted. You expressed several concerns related to illegal gambling. On March 19, 2001, you sent a letter to me requesting that the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) provide a report on prosecutions of Indian gambling crimes.
