## SEC. 1312 FINDINGS **[**[25 U.S.C. 3302](/us/usc/t25/s3302)**]** The Congress finds that— ####
(1)there are increasing numbers of Indian students qualifying for postsecondary education, and there are increasing numbers desiring to go to postsecondary institutions; ####
(2)the needs of these students far outpace the resources available currently; ####
(3)Indian tribes have shown an increasing interest in administering programs serving these individuals and making decisions on these programs reflecting their determinations of the tribal and human needs; ####
(4)the contracting process under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act has provided a mechanism for the majority of the tribes to assume control over this program from the Bureau of Indian Affairs; ####
(5)however, inherent limitations in the contracting philosophy and mechanism, coupled with cumbersome administrative procedures developed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs have effectively limited the efficiency and effectiveness of these programs; ####
(6)the provision of these services in the most effective and efficient form possible is necessary for tribes, the country, and the individuals to be served; and ####
(7)these services are part of the Federal Government's continuing trust responsibility to provide education services to American Indian and Alaska Natives.
