The letter provides information to Senator Harris regarding the distribution of Johnson-O'Malley (JOM) funds for Indian education in California. It explains that California stopped receiving JOM funds in 1958 and only resumed in 1970 due to specific needs identified by State officials. The letter clarifies the eligibility criteria for JOM funding, which is based on tax-exempt, Indian-owned lands and large numbers of Indian children in school districts. It also mentions other Federal programs available to provide education funding for all educationally deprived students, including Indian children. The letter reassures that efforts will be made to provide JOM funds to eligible school districts in California.
