Calendar No. 289
721 CONGREss SENATE REPORT
1st Session No 271
EDUCATION, MEDICAL ATTENTION, AND RELIEF OF
DISTRESS OF INDIANS
FEBRUARY 17 (calendar day, FEBRUARY 19), 1932.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. FRAZIER, from the Committee on Indian Affairs, submitted the
following
REPORT
[To accompany S. 3110]
The Committee on Indian Affairs, to whom was referred the bill
(S. 3110) authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to arrange with
States for the education, medical attention, and relief of distress of
Indians, and for other purposes, having considered the same, report
favorably- thereon with a recommendation that the bill do pass
without amendment.
The bill authorizes the Secretary of the Interior, at his discretion,
to enter into contracts with the States which have been authorized by
their legislatures to do so, for the education, medical care, and take
other responsibilities for the Indians. It authorizes the Department
of the Interior to arrange with those States, where it finds this advis-
able, for the use of Government property incidental to the administra-
tion of Indian affairs. It authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to make what rules and regulations are necessary to carry out this
cooperation between the Federal Government and the States, and
requires him to report to Congress each December as to what con-
tracts he has made.
This bill is intended particularly to make it possible that the
Department of the Interior should arrange for the handling of certain
Indian problems with those States in which the Indian tribal life is
largely broken up and in which the Indians are to a considerable
extent mixed with the general population. In such States Indian
health, for example, becomes a problem so intermixed with that of
the general health of the community that it is difficult to separate
.the two. The maintenance of a State health agency and a separate
health. agency for Indians under these circumstances is found to be
uneconomical and contrary to efficient administration. This bill](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.amindian/edmedatt0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
