TITLE IV, INDIAN EDUCATION ACT FUNDING IN JEOPARDY
The Secretary of the Department of Education, Terrel Bell, under the
direction of President Ronald Reagan, has proposed the 19832.84 Indian
Education Act budget, in the October 12, 1982 Federal Register. If
this is al lowed to happen, a 34 cut in total funding will resultj
The OFFICIAL CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS HAVE NOT YET BEEN SET TO ENACT THIS
PROCESS. YOU MUST ACT NOW TO ALERT YOUR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION AND
OTHER APPROPRIATE COMMITTEES (SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INDIAN AFFAIRS,
EDUCATION, INTERIOR & APPROPRIATIONS, ETC.) TO STOP THIS ATTEMPT TO
DRASTICALLY CUT TITLE IV FUNDING.
Dear Congressman ,
It has been brought to my attention that the Federal Register of October
12, 1982, includes appropriation levels for the 1983-8 Indian Education
Act (Title IV, P. L. 92-318).
I understand that this is a highly irregular procedure since Congress
has hot considered or approved appropriation levels for Title IV for FY 1983
I also understand that President Reagan and Education Secretary Terrell
Bell are proposing in the Federal Register a total funding cut for Title IV
of 34$. This will result in closure of small programs and severe loss of
educational services for Indian Students and adults.
Your help is needed in maintaining adequate funding levels for our children.
Please let me know your feelings on this matter.
