To whom it may concern,
The transpiration of events that
took place during the first part of
July 1 995, which involved solely the
person writing this piece of literature,
didn't require any outside assistance
other than the person immediately
involved. My most sincere regrets.

HHS proposes eight percent budget increase
The Fiscal Year (FY) 1997 bud
get request for the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
is $354 billion, an increases of $27
billion, or eight percent, over the
comparable FY 1996 amount. The
discretionary portion of the HHS
budget totals $34 billion in budget y
authority, an increase of five percent -over
the FY 1996 policy level. The
FY 1996 policy level is based on
levels of the ninth continuing resolu
tion, including an incremental policy
adjustment.
Indian Health Service (IHS)
summary: The FY 1997 budget re
quest for the IHS is $2.4 billion, an
increase of $174 million (8.7 per
cent) over the FY 1996 budget. This
increase primarily is for Clinical
Services ($80 million), Self-Determination
Contracting ($46 million),
and Facilities ($36 million). The
increase in Clinical Services will be
used primarily for Self-Determina-tion
funding and populations with
special needs (women, children, el
ders and urban Indians). The major
ity of the increase for facilities will
be funds for sanitation construction
and for 382 staff, offset by staff re
ductions primarily in headquarters
and area offices, for six new facili
ties opening in FY 1996 and FY
1997. The request also assumes col
lection of $222 million in insurance
payments (Medicaid, Medicare, em
ployer provided) consistent with FY
1996 levels.
The IHS provides medical care
for abut 1 .4 million federally recog
nized American Indians and Alaska
Natives living on or near federal res
ervations, or on other traditional In
dian lands, in 34 states. IHS provides
direct medical care through a network
of 49 hospitals and 484 health centers
and stations located primarily in
Oklahoma, the Northern Plains,
California, Alaska and the Southwest.
Local tribes operate 12 of the hos
pitals and 372 of the centers and
stations under contract with the IHS.
Medical care is also purchased for
Indian patients from local hospitals
and medical providers. While care is
primarily provided in areas that are
on or near federal reservations, funds
are also provided to urban health
grantees ($27 million in FY 1997) in
41 cities with large American Indian
and Alaskan Native populations. In
addition to providing medical care
and environmental health services, ,
programs in mental health care, and
alcoholsubstance abuse prevention
and treatment are provided.
The health statistics for Indian
people have improved dramatically,
both in absolute terms and in com
parison with all Americans. Two ar
eas that have seen significant im
provement in recent years are infant
mortality and deaths form accidents.
Infant mortality has declined by 15.3
percent while the death rate for acci
dents has declined by 12.8 percent.
The additional $174 million re
quested for IHS will fund a number
of new initiatives in FY 1997:
Self-Determination Funds ($46
million, total $212 million) -The
request provides an increase of 28
percent to cover contract support
costs, which are the management
expenses tribes incur when they take
over the operation of local health
program form the IHS under the In
dian Self-Determination Act. Trib
ally operated programs accounted for ( .
about 37 percent of the IHS budget in 1 ;
FY 1995.
Sanitation Construction ($43
million, total $128 million) Since
i 1960, the IHS has helped increase
the number of homes with water and
waste disposal services from 20 per
cent to nearly 90 percent. Of the '
$128 million, $86 million will be
used to provide services to 17,400
existing homes, and $42 million will
be used to provide services for new
homes as they are built.
Health Initiative for Special Popu
lations ($16 million) The IHS
will begin four special initiatives
focused primarily on the needs of
women, chldren, elders and urban
Indians.
Operation of New Facilities ($27
million) There are six facilities
opening in FY 1996 and FY 1997:
Harlem, Montana, White Earth Min
nesota, Kotzebue, Alaska, Shiprock
New Mexico, Anchorage, Alaska and
Hayes, Montana.
Other Initiatives ($7 million)
The budget request includes $3.5
million to purchase medical services
for five newly recognized tribes, $2
million for health professions schol
arships and $1.5 million for system
upgrades and improved electronic
medical information communication.

Officer Training:
Officers of the WSPD recently
attended and completed three days of
training at Kah-Nee-Ta Resort March
26, 27 and 28.
Two days of training were spent
on improving skills in the adminis
tration of Standardized Field Sobri
ety Tests in drunk driving investiga
tions. The third day of training was spent
in Drug Recognition by drivers who
might be operating a motor vehicle
impaired.
All officers who completed the
training were certified through the
Board on Public Safety Standards
and Training.
With this training, offices are now
able to recognize when a person might
be driving while under the influence
of alcohol andor drugs.
McGruff Speaks:
In looking out for our community
Team: Rose Kirk, Taralee
Suppah, Amy Suppah, Deece
Suppah, Shamona Charley,
Crystal Smith, Hester Scott, Reina
Estimo (not pictured).
over the past few weeks, various
community members have brought
to our attention continued concern
for children who are not restrained
while riding in a vehicle.
Since our last article, small in
fants and toddlers have been noticed
bouncing around in pickups, cars and
vans.
Even more dangerous are those
small children who are subjected to
being held in the arms of the operator
' while driving to their destination in
and around the reservation.
Grrr...how many of us, after we
cross the bridge traveling off the res
ervation, buckle ourselves or our
children up for fear that we face
getting ticketed by the outside au
thorities? We certainly don't need another
state law adopted to tribal law to
influence our CHOICE to safeguard
our loved ones. Pleeeze....do your
part and BUCKLE UP!
Library survey inconclusive
Attendance was minimal at a
March 26 public meeting held by the
Warm Springs Johnson O'Malley
Committee on library survey results.
Seven people showed up at the Warm
Springs Community Center social
hall, including committee members,
to hear analysis of the results.
Out of 300 surveys sent out on the
question of having a Warm Springs
library, only 56 were recieved back.
Survey results were considered in
conclusive to tell what the
community's direction was on hav
ing such a facility on the reservation.
Such results are referred to as an
"accidental sample", rather than a
random sample and can end up pre
senting a skewed view of the true
situation.
The top five Library Resources
and Services ratings for highest in
terest included: 1) 49 responses for
the importance of a library as a re
source for Children; 2) 45 responses
for books, materials and computers
to help students and community
members conduct research; 3) 44
responses for a collection of Warm
Springs Tribal cultural information
and local history resources.
4) There was a tie of 43 responses
for a) community access to comput
ers for school and personal use and;
b) importance of a library as a re
source for adults; 5) There was a tie
of 40 responses for a) classes on
computer skills and telecommunica
tions and; b) satellite connection to
provide interactive educational pro
grams. !
Once again, the survey results on
the Warm Springs library were con
sidered to be inconclusive because
of the low number of surveys returned
to the Johnson O'Malley committee.

what period of time?" he asked. "And
will it be a joint license for the entire
project?"
PGE officials are hopeful that an
agreement can be reached. "How
ever," said John Esler, a PGE gov
ernmental affairs specialist told the
Bulletin, "our position is that the
Tribes are partners in electricity gen
eration at the re-regulating dam, but
we don't believe they have a case to
be called the license holder for the
entire complex."
FERC will accept comments about
the project until April 26 and is ex

year on what standing PGE and the
Tribe will have in a relicensing application.
If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again
If I had my child to raise over again,
I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less.
I'd do less correcting, and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less, and know to care more.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I'd run through more fields, and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging, and less tugging.
I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd teach less about the love of power,
And more about the power of love.
