For the third time iri four years, the scien tist! oppose a' Senate bill that would »allow federally recog nized tribes to claim ancient remaens even i f they can’t prove&a link tto . a current tribe.

Both measures Could end up with the same .result, scientists say: prevent ing an improved understand ing o f North American his to r y and the ro le o f the continent’s first inhabitants.
