ought to have our responsibilities clear and have it understood by everybody and we have those responsibilities clear at the reservation level as well as the other levels so that we can get an effective job done. Now, there will be some things, I have already said, [[strikethrough]] that [[/strikethrough]] where there will have to be a joint responsibility and programming [[strikethrough]] in my estimation is one of those [[/strikethrough]]. The development jointly of policies and plans of that area within the limits they are established, I think it is absolutely essential that they be done jointly, and if they are not done jointly they will never function. But once they are done jointly, when you get through you are in [[strikethrough]] a [[/strikethrough]] position then to define the responsibilities for getting the job done [[strikethrough]] with [[/strikethrough]] in regard to that program and every fellow could go ahead getting his job done and [[strikethrough]] in [[/strikethrough]] keep in touch as we do it and gear the machinery so it will function. I am talking about an ideal situation and I admit it, but if we don't approach that ideal we won't get the job done. Now, I am getting pretty well along to the end of my notes, but I have one or two other things I want to say. I want to say right here and now that I think that a great deal of progress has been made in spite of the criticisms that have been made during the past several years. I see a number of things that I think that have happened in the last fifteen or twenty years that have started in the right direction [[strikethrough]] of [[/strikethrough]] that is important. I have already mentioned one of them and that is the [[strikethrough]] integration [[/strikethrough]] move toward integration of certain types of services including the providing of public schools on a public school basis in many of the states and that is real progress. I assure you that I personally feel that we should go ahead on that and see it is made available to everyone who wants it as fast as it can be secured. There has been a good deal of progress made in good many areas in the recapture of some Indian lands for use by Indians both as farmers and as cattlemen. It has been pulled out of leases from other people who have had it and a lot of young Indian folks have begun to make some pretty good cattlemen and some pretty good farmers. I have seen some of them on my way across this trip and I am perfectly delighted at the progress 10
