The Fundamental Reality In The Ontology Of African People, Charles Ereraina Osume

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Letters to President Gerald Ford from Lutheran leaders - along with those from other church officials - are credited with encouraging the signing into law the Indian Health Improvement Act. The new law will provide $480 million over the next three years.

The House of Representatives had passed the bill 310 to 9 in mid-summer. The Senate later approved the House version of the bill. But the Ford Administration had opposed the legislation from the beginning, primarily because it exceeded proposed budget limitations.

A House-Senate conference committee resolved differences in the two versions, and the resolution then easily passed.
