![["President Nixon submitted a budget to Congress that cuts funding for education and welfare services for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The budget includes increases for road construction and administrative expenses. Oklahoma's budget allocation increased by $612,100, with no new construction projects listed. Nixon also plans to propose additional funding for self-determination grants and an Indian business development fund.
