1988 BIA Budget Initiatives
The FY 1988 budget request for the main
operating account, Operations of Indian
Programs, totals $910.2 million, about
$11.0 million less than the current 1987
estimate, or about a one percent reduction.
Included in this request are four major
initiatives: moving education away from BIA
control to local communities; an economic
self-assistanceself help program that is
intended to reform the general assistance
grant program; increased assistance to small
tribes through revenue sharing; and control
of drug and alcohol abuse through motivation
and rehabilitation.
On the surface these initiatives appear harm
less, however, some criticism has been raised,
particularly on education. We will continue
to follow the formulation of these initiatives
and provide updates through the newsletter.
Input from tribal communities will be important
for policy development regarding the initiat
ives. USDA DISTRIBUTION SITE CLOSED
The Salem USDA food distribution site, operate
by the Siletz Tribe, has closed. Jim Butler
has volunteered to pick up USDA food for tribal
members. Call the tribal office, 879-5215, at
least two days ahead of time to arrange pick
up. Otherwise, tribal members will need to
pick up the food at the warehouse in Siletz,
or in South Beach, outside of Newport.
