- Description:
- Senator Fred R. Harris wrote to Mr. Juan Martine, President of the Ramah Navajo School Board, enclosing a progress report from the Bureau of Indian Affairs regarding a new school project. Mr. Martine had previously contacted the Bureau about delays in the project. The Bureau reported that preliminary planning work had been done, including a water feasibility report and preparation of educational specifications. Additional funds would be needed from Congress to complete the design drawings, with construction expected to take several years. The Ramah Navajo people were willing to consider alternate sites with water availability for the new school. Senator Harris assured Mr. Martine that he would continue to follow up on the project.
