Bartlett wrote to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in support of the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma's application for funding for a vocational-technical education program. The tribe is aiming to break the cycle of employment instability and poverty within their community. The Department assured Senator Bartlett that the application will be reviewed and final funding decisions will be made by late August, with successful applicants being notified beforehand. Senator Bartlett requested fair and equitable consideration for the tribe's application.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
