- Description:
- The document is a response from Senator Dewey F. Bartlett to William T. McCarty regarding concerns about H.R. 9810, the Indian Basic Education Act. The Senator assures McCarty that the bill will be closely monitored and reviewed, especially regarding Impact Aid provisions. McCarty had expressed concerns about the bill potentially allowing Indian tribes to establish their own schools, which he believes would be detrimental to public schools. McCarty emphasizes the importance of Public Law 874 funding for public schools and urges the Senator to consider the negative impact of H.R. 9810 on education.
