REPORTER: What do you think tribal

REPORTER: Okay.
DUBYA: And, therefore, the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between

sovereign entities.

REPORTER: Mr. President, why are you and the Vice President insisting on appearing together before the 9/11 Commission? And, Mr. President, who will you be handing the Iraqi government over to on June 30th?
DUBYA: We will find that out soon. That's what Mr. Brahimi is doing. He's figuring out the nature of the entity we'll be handing
sovereignty
over. And, secondly, because the 9/11 Commission wants to ask us questions, that's why we're meeting. And I look forward to meeting with them and answering their questions.
REPORTER: I was asking why you're appearing together, rather than separately, which was their request.
DUBYA: Because it's a good chance for both of us to answer questions that the 9/11 Commission is looking forward to asking us, and I'm looking forward to answering them.

I hope to have the
