The letter is a response to a communication about the reduction in funding for the Title IV Program of the Indian Education Act. The speaker has contacted the Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Interior Appropriations and forwarded the petitions to Representative Tom Steed's office. The petitions are from public school districts in Southwest Oklahoma who are participants in the Indian Education Act and are concerned about the funding cuts affecting Indian students' unique educational needs. They are appealing for the cuts to be reconsidered and the funds to be restored before the next school year.
