with appropriate agencies in the Department of Health and Human 
Services, a report on the feasibility of providing Indian children with 
schools located near their homes, and to submit such report to the 
Select Committee on Indian Affairs of the United States Senate and the 
Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs of the United States House of 
Representatives within two years from November 8, 1978. In developing

provision of educational facilities for children in the elementary 
grades.
