Excerpt from Preparing American Indian Students for the 21st Century: Hearing of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress First Session on S. 1150; To Improve Learning and Teaching by Providing a National Framework for Education Reform; To Promote the Research, Consensus Bu The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9 :00 a.m., Santa Fe Indian School, Santa Fe, NM, Hon. Jeff Bingaman presiding. Present: Senator Bingaman. Opening Statement of Senator Bingaman Senator Bingaman. Why don´t we get started with the hearing. Let me, first of all, say I appreciate we have got the best court reporter in the State, Betty Lanphere, helping us today. That is a great consolation to us, and we appreciate it very much. This is a hearing preparing American Indians for the 21st Century. This is to focus some attention on preparing American Indians for the 21st Century, particularly as it relates to the Goals 2000 legislation that is pending in the Congress, S. 1150. This is the legislation the President has proposed and the Secretary of Education is to try to begin to put in place the goals for education in this country and put in place content and performance standards for our schools. Let me begin by thanking Joe Abeyta and the school here, the Santa Fe Indian School for graciously hosting this hearing. They have been gracious hosts for many events that I have done in the time I have been in the Senate, and this is a superb example of the quality education that is being provided to some of our Indian students around the country, and we hope more and more of them as the years go by. So I think any hearing on improvement of education is appropriately cited here at the Santa Fe Indian School, because the great work that they have done, and I look forward to continuing to applaud their successes as we move forwards. As many of you are aware, the Goals 2000: Educate America Act sets out a comprehensive blueprint for helping the Nation to meet the problems and challenges of our current educational system from preschool through higher education. Early this summer, the committee that I sit on, which is the Labor and Human Resources Committee in the Senate, favorably reported this measure out We had bipartisan support. It is not a partisan issue. We hope for consideration of this legislation in the full Senate this next month, in September.
