Or it may go to the grand jury, which could issue an indictment." Compton acknowledged this was the first casé "for this ‘ particular matter" of which he was aware in Oregon. "Because it is in a state of prosecution, there's not a lot of information to give out," he said. "B u tw e felt it was important to release information on the arrests because of the significant coopera tion of Chinook Winds.

I continue to be impressed with the overall levels of friendliness, cooperation, positive spirit, ,and the professionalism of the staff and management. I am really looking forward to an exciting and creative association that will directly lead to greatly expanded guest awarèness, - satisfaction < and attendance, as well as a substantial increase in casino profitability. After a very .successful three year association with the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians in California, who helped pioneer the Indian gaming movement in the 1980's, I became acutely aware of the opportunities and obliga tions afforded, by Indian gaming as a means to achieve Tribal economic development, an inde pendent Tribal government and an improvement in the lives of Tribal members and their families. I am very pleased to witness first hand how that opportunity is playing out for the Siletz Tribe and to see the many accomplishments achieved to date. I look forward to the opportunity to serve the Tribe' here as we solidify and expand ■those gains, Tim McIntire 1
