Show -2- - Ths Uts again. I would like to mention the Business Committee kept the tribe from going broke. Not only that, it brought the four million dollars up and still kept the tribal operations going. So when you quote the tribe's history tell the bad along with the good and when you talk about the tribes resources just remember our greatest assets are our children. As far as our customs and traditions, I feel the training comes from the home first and if it's not there then our young people go looking for it some place else. So don't pass the buck and also I had the opportunity of spending some time with some of our school children and I feel our young generation are proud people, not only for what they are but what they stand for and I know they will carry on and make the tribe evern better. I am thankful our young people are getting a better education. Accusations Answered Letter to the Editor: I would like to respond to the letter Curtis Cuch had published in the last UTE BULLETIN, Editors Mnlbox." First I am glad some of the Carts are coming out about the Outdoor Recreation Enterprise. The Outdoor Recreation Enterprise was the only enterprise NOT subsidized by the tribe. It operated on the money it made. It also paid its own bills. Not only that, it also enployed members of the tribe on seasonal work. It also paid money to the tribe for permits it used. The money went back into the General Fund. Some of this money paid your salary. s You mentioned and the enterprise being a total wreck.
