![["Herman Agoyo, chairman of the New Mexico Indian Education Board of Regents, testified before the United States Senate Interior Committee about the Johnson-O'Malley regulations and how they have been implemented in New Mexico. The Board supports the regulations and emphasizes local control, per capita distribution of funds, innovative programs, child-centered programs, and increasing Indian interest in education.

![["Valentino Cordova, Chairman of the All Indian Pueblo Council and New Mexico Indian Education Board of Regents, opposes bill S.1017 in its current form as it does not provide new ideas in Indian education. He suggests amendments to involve Indian tribes more in education decisions, such as changing definitions, allowing federal employees to work with tribes, and giving more authority to Indian community education committees. Cordova emphasizes the importance of Indian self-determination in administering funds and services for Indian students."]](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_15_0000-Indian%20Self-determination,%201953/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_15_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Strengthening Indian Education: Testimony on S.1017")
