![["The letter provides information to Senator Harris regarding the allocation of Johnson-O'Malley funds for Indian education in California. It explains that California received JOM funds prior to 1958 but discontinued them in favor of other federal programs.

The letter suggests looking to other federal programs for funding and emphasizes the importance of providing adequate education for all educationally deprived students, including Indian children."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%20B-Z,%201971%20(2)/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_003_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding the Allocation of Johnson-O'Malley Funds for Indian Education in California")
