Hello sir, My name is Lucas Heitkamp and I work for Senator Mike Rounds. A number of folks are asking us if tribal law enforcement and other essential tribal positions will be impacted by the OPM probationary directive. Just wondering if you had any resources to help explain what positions are impacted? Thank you so much!
