![["The document discusses the struggles in passing Indian legislation, specifically S. 1017, which focuses on Indian self-determination and education. The bill is being debated by Senators Jackson, Kennedy, and Abourezk, with various Indian groups supporting each senator. The main issue of contention is Title II of the bill, which involves changes to the distribution of funds for Indian education programs. There is a leak of data from the BIA that causes confusion and controversy, leading to delays in the passage of the bill. Senator Kennedy's strategy appears to be to kill Title II entirely."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_33_11_0000-Indian%20Self-determination,%201953/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_11_0006_thumbnail.jpg "The Battle for Indian Legislation: S. 1017 and the Three-Way Struggle,")
