The Tribes need to have this activity/element available immediately to plan projects or implement projects for short range purposes, but the Tribes also need to be able to have access to this program activity for the ZBB process if the Tribes have prioritized the need for this program and wish to shift PL 93-638 contracting funds from other categories into economic development; and THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians does hereby urge the Bureau of Indian Affairs to take whatever measures are necessary to provide the availability of this economic development activity (3700-activity/3100- element) for the use of the Tribes PL 93-638 contract funds; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians urges the U.S. House Sub- Committee on Appropriations and Chairman Sidney R. Yates to support this effort and legislate the appropriate language to authorize the full use of this activity by the Tribes acknowledging the need and consistency of this action with the encouragements and funding opportunities by Congress and the President for Indian economic development goals. CERTIFICATION The foregoing resolution was duly endorsed at the Annual Conference of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, at Spokane, Washington, on September 8, 1984, with a quorum present and voting. __________________________ ____________________________ Delbert Frank, President Faith Mayhew, Secretary -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To have a current Center For World Indigenous Studies Publication Catalogue sent to you via e-mail, send a request to jburrows@halcyon.com FTP ftp://ftp.halcyon.com/pub/FWDP/CWIS/cwis-cat.txt Center For World Indigenous Studies P.O.
