Item — Box: 51, Folder: 13
Identifier: CAC_CC_109_4_51_13_0037
The Southern Plains Inter-Tribal Center sent a letter to Mr. Jones, a member of the House of Representatives, expressing opposition to the employment and training freeze placed on Titles II and VI. They argue that these programs are necessary to address unemployment and lack of training in the Indian community. They also oppose granting block grants to states, as it jeopardizes sponsored Indian programs. The letter highlights the success of the Comprehensive Employment Training Act in southwest Oklahoma and the positive impact it has had on reducing unemployment. The Southern Plains Inter-Tribal Center currently has 464 applicants, with 97 people successfully placed in employment. They emphasize the importance of employment and training programs in helping individuals become self-sufficient citizens.
