Fannin .- United States Senate Dear Senator Fannin: In accordance with your request of July 31, 1974, and subsequent agreements with your office, we obtained information on the Bureau of Indian Affairs' planning and budgeting system, called band analysis, and the determinations of funding levels needed to educate Indian children in public schools under the Johnson-O'Malley program. Specifically, we determined (1) whether the Bureau informed local public school district officials of the band analysis procedures to be followed in establishing the level of Johnson-O'Malley funds needed, (2) whether State and local school district funding needs to educate Indian children were determined before preparing the band analysis budget, and (3) the extent of tribal involvement in preparing the band analysis budget. As your office requested, we directed our review to the fiscal year 1976 band analysis for Arizona. The Bureau established the Band Analysis System in response to the need for Indian participation in the Bureau's program planning process. Through band analysis, Indians identify their needs and establish their funding priorities on a program-by-program basis. The Johnson-O'Malley program was among the programs included under the Bureau's Band Analysis System. Under the Johnson-O'Malley program, the Bureau, through contractual arrangements with States, school districts, or Indian corporations, provides funds for the education of Indian children living on reservations but attending public schools. Johnson-O'Malley program funds supplement other Federal and State education financial aid. .We previously briefed your office on the results of our review, including the Bureau's plan to eliminate the Johnson-O'Malley pro- gram from future band analyses. As your office requested, we are briefly summarizing the results of our review. ~7O~3Z ~q5OJ~'RED- 75-353
