The letter suggests looking to other federal programs for funding and emphasizes the importance of providing adequate education for all educationally deprived students, including Indian children."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_003.jpg "Correspondence Regarding the Allocation of Johnson-O'Malley Funds for Indian Education in California")
