You know, of course, that the Interior x6 Department is going ahead with this project. Money for the conversion was included in & de- X119 ficiency appropriations bill, which I recently signed, and I am told that by January 1, 1950, the first of some 2,000 Indian children will be enrolled. Your interest in this project has been very helpful, and I appreciate it very much. Very sincerely yours, LIBRARY WASHINGTON is AUddy à U.S. (Sgd) HARRY S.
