Our interest areas have been narrowed in order to place the foundation in a better position in which to carry out its historic mission, which is, to improve the health and health care of Americans. In addition to the three new funding priorities, Schroeder stressed that the foundation will continue to encourage promising cost containment efforts by promo ting relevent health services re search, policy analysis, and health manpower programs, as well as convening the involved consti tuents in an attempt to find com mon points of agreement.

As part of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians mid-year meeting, the tribes interest in eli minating the paternalism of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and other government agencies was a main topic. Rather than having federal agencies determine what tribes need, Indians want to tell Congress what they need. The agenda will also address the need for economic development on Indian reservations, as well as edu cational and health-care issues, unemployment and alcoholism. Expected to take two years, Indian leaders will meet again July 21-23 at Sundance Resort in Utah to develop guidelines for the Indian agenda.
