- Description:
- The document proposes a bill to allow Indian tribes to assume control of certain programs and services provided by the Federal government. President Nixon supports the proposal to give tribes more self-determination. The bill requires tribes to obtain insurance and allows for the transfer of programs or services to tribal control, with the Secretary monitoring for the safety and welfare of the Indians involved. The bill also ensures no discrimination against tribes assuming control and maintains the federal government's trust responsibility to Indian groups. The Office of Management and Budget supports the proposal.
