Stevens believes that road 6113, which benefits both Indians and white farmers, is a more logical choice for the project than road 6117, which he feels is not as beneficial to the Indian community. Stevens requests a fair investigation and emphasizes the importance of education for Indian children.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
