- Commissioner Robert L. Bennett spoke at a conference on Indian employment, highlighting the high rates of unemployment among reservation Indians and the need for new programs to address this issue. He emphasized the importance of job training and employment assistance, as well as the preservation of Indian culture and heritage. Despite some progress in vocational training programs, more needs to be done to reach and support unemployed Indians.
