Bartlett to William T. McCarty regarding concerns about H.R. 9810, the Indian Basic Education Act. The Senator assures McCarty that the bill will be closely monitored and reviewed, especially regarding Impact Aid provisions. McCarty had expressed concerns about the bill potentially allowing Indian tribes to establish their own schools, which he believes would be detrimental to public schools. McCarty emphasizes the importance of Public Law 874 funding for public schools and urges the Senator to consider the negative impact of H.R. 9810 on education.

This has resulted in economic impacts on institutions, as they must comply with various federal programs and reporting requirements. There are concerns about threats to academic freedom, as well as the financial burden of federal regulations on colleges and universities. The burden falls on Congress to ensure that future legislation minimizes economic impact on higher education, and greater consultation with the higher education community is needed before enacting new regulations. Ultimately, higher education must establish self-regulation to ensure that federal funds are being efficiently spent and national goals are being achieved.
