Byrd, Chai:man Subcommittee on the Department oZ Interior and Related Agencies Ccmmittee on Appropriations United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: On August 9, 1T77, you requested that we make a comprehensive review of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, programs and processes and report the results to you by February 15, 1978. This is one of a series of reports in response to that request. This report presents the results of past work we have done concerning the effectiveness of Bureau coordination with other Federal agencies. Following your request we met u:ith your office and identified four General Accounting Office reports issued during 1975 and 1976 that recognized, among other things, the need for improved coordination among Federal agencies operating Indian programs. We agreed to respond to this portion of your request by providing copies of -he reports identified and by doing limited followup work to determine what, if any, corrective action has been taken by the respon3ible agencies. Following are brief summaries of our four reports. Correct.ve action has been taken or ititiated on three of -f\°them. We are continuing to follow up on the fourth report and the results of that work will be reported separately. On August 18, 1975, we issued a report to the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs on Indian Natural Resources--Opportunities for Improved Management and Increased Productivity Part I: Forest Land, Rangeland, and Cropland (R8D-76-8), which was followed on March 31, 1976, by Indian Natural Resources--Part II: t6ail, Oil, and Gas--Better Manage- ment Can Improve Development and Increase Indian Income and Employment (RED-76-84). These reports concluded that the Department of the Interior had not given Indians the neces- sary assistance to properly manage their natural resources and recommended that procedures be established among various responsible agencies and Indian tribes to coordinate reservation activities.
