(a)It is the sense of Congress that the absence of locally convenient day schools may contribute to the breakup of Indian families. ###
(b)The Secretary is authorized and directed to prepare, in consultation with appropriate agencies in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare1, 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 Affairs2 of the United States House of Representatives within two years from the date of this Act. In developing this report the Secretary shall give particular consideration to the provision of educational facilities for children in the elementary grades. 1Pursuant to section 509(b) of P.L. 96–88, 93 Stat. 695, any reference to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare shall be deemed to refer to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Health and Human Services. 2The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs was renamed the Committee on Natural Resources in the 103rd Congress (H.
