The Honorable George McGovern

United States Senate

Dear Senator McGovern:

     In response to your request of February 28, 1973, and in
accordance with agreements reached with your office, we are
sending you (1) an inventory of Federal programs to aid the
social and economic development of Indian reservations, iden-
tifying those programs specifically for Indians living on
reservations and those which are part of a program with a
broader scope, and (2) the appropriations and expenditures
for these programs, including information on funds that have
been impounded.

     The Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior,
administers a number of programs which were created specifi-
cally to aid the education, social, and economic development
of Indians living on reservations. The Bureau's records show
the following appropriations and expenditures for these pro-
grams during the last two fiscal years.

                Appropriations   Expenditures

                            (millions)

        1972        $445.5           $437.6
        1973         544.4            520.2 (estimated)

     The major, expenditures were for education, welfare and
guidance services, Alaska Native Claims, relocation and adult
vocational training, and Federal aid for constructing highways
on reservations.   (See enc. I.)

     For fiscal year 1973, $31.5 million of the Bureau's con-
struction appropriation funds--$29.5 million for buildings and
utilities and $2 million for irrigation systems--were im-
pounded by the Office of Management and Budget. The Bureau
gave us information which showed that $101,000 of fiscal year
1972 irrigation systems construction appropriations had been
impounded but were subsequently released on July 1, 1972.
