We are meeting fiscal year 1974 requirements, performance standards, improvement and innovation, and completed needs assessment forms. We are grateful to be assisted by Mainstream workers. We think this training is very beneficial to these people. A series of. meetings have been conducted throughout the Head Start programs to review needs and to plan educational goals. Training sessions for staff are continually being conducted through T & TA and STA throughout the fiscal year. Ten percent of the total enrollment consists of handicapped children which is a new requirement. However, Head Start has been committed to including children with handicaps all along so it is not an obstacle. The fee schedule has caused a decline in enrollment. The director reports the meetings he attended in Washington, D.C. were productive. The latest is the Standing Committee on Equal Opportunity has presented a proposal to the 4 Congress to amend Public Law commonly known to the local Head Start communities as the fee schedule bill. 42-42- To Executive . the Uintah and Ouray Agency last month.

(AIPA) One of the most powerful individuals in Indian Affairs and executive director of the federal National Council on Indian Opportunity submitted a letter of resignation to the Office of the Vice President Nov. 9. Robert Robertson's resignation came five weeks after the resignation of his former boss. Former Vice President Spiro T. Agnew. Robertson told AIPA if Agnews successor, Rep. Gerald Ford, desired him to stay on in that he would heed Ford's wishes. post I think its time an Indian came in and took over this position," Robertson told AIPA. Robertson originally came to the capital in 1969 at Agnew's request as a consultant to explore the duties of the Vice Presklent and to make recommendations on whether the Vice President should get involved with NCIO. Robertson determined that NCIO provided a good opportunity" for the Vice President's work. Robertson was then hired as NCIO's executive director, one of the most visible and prominent positions on Indian matters in the capital. Robertson also told AIPA he did not expect to hear any response to his resignation from the Vice Presidents Office until Vice President-designat- e Ford was confirmed in office by the U.S. Congress. Ford's confirmation is expected by early December. Not yet determined were Ford's wishes concerning his own involvement with NCIO. NCIO, however, is the only remaining vice presidential office and role apart from that as president of the U.S. Senate. NCIO, created by presidential executive order of former President Lyndon B. r Johnson in 1968, received a lease on life by congressional authorization in 1969. Its legal life expires in 1974 and will require new congressional action. Some Indian organization in the capital are opposed to the continuation of NCIO, as are some members of Congress.' It was also not known whether Ford, once he is confirmed, would be willing to go to bat with members of Congress to insure the continuation of that office. Believed to be in the naming to succeed Robertson was Martin Seneca, a New York Seneca who is a former White House Fellow and currently o law professor at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. NCIO sources themselves indicated that Seneca would be Robertson's first choice as his successor if he five-yea- departs soon. |
