FINDINGS.

SEC. 5501. FINDINGS. The Congress finds that— 102 STAT. 419 (1) the Government of the United States has a special relationship with the Indians which has given rise to a responsibility to assure superior educational opportunities for all Indians; (2) this responsibility is being carried out by Federal schools and federally funded programs; (3) while the States provide educational services to the majority of Indian students in the United States, the State services are largely funded by Federal funds and are not, in any way, in derogation of the Federal responsibility; (4) changes in the Federal and State systems in the past decade and the growth of tribal control over schools has led to substantial improvements in the educational opportunities and successes of Indian students; (5) substantial and substantive problems continue to exist and interfere with the realization of full opportunities for Indian students; and (6) identification of these problems through the convening of a White House conference will facilitate formulation of solutions.
