- Senator Fred R. Harris received a letter from the Director of the School of Music at the University of Oklahoma, informing him of proposed research projects and institutes related to American Indian music. The projects aim to study a collection of recorded American Indian music to better prepare musicologists and public school music teachers for teaching this literature. The Director seeks advice and suggestions from Senator Harris on developing and submitting the proposals to the United States Office of Education. The goal is to secure funding for the projects and institutes by January 1, 1967. Senator Harris and his wife are invited to review and provide feedback on the final programs before submission.
