In February 1987, the Bureau cf Indian Affairs (BIA) recommended that the school be closed, and that students be transferred to Sherman Indian Schoo] in Riverside, California. Congressional hearings in February and July 1987 received testimony on this proposal and on several plans for disposition of the federal land involved, about ,100 acres of valuable real estate within the city of Phoenix. A B1A spokesman cited declining enrollment and Lurther declines expected after the opening of two new reservation secondary schools as justification for the closure, and provided data on studer:, program, and school characteristics at Phoenix and Sherman schools. Representatives of Arizona tribes and the Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona (ITCA) testified that there are only five reservation high schools in Arizona, and that Phoenix Indian High School provides needed educational resources for Arizona's Indian students, particularly special needs students. In the event of closure, ITCA submitted a plan whereby property dispoFal would provide educational funds for Indian students. Collier Enterprises explained its proposal to trade 145,000 acres of its land in '..he Florida Everglades ecosystem for the Phoenix land. Phelps Dodge Development Corporation described its offer to trade 311,000 acres of Southwest wilderness and archeological sites for the Phoenix land. Conservation groups and environmental, wildlife, and archeological experts discussed the two proposed land exchanges. The city of Phoenix and the Veterans Administration presented their plans for development of the land.

Morris K. Udall (chairman of the commit- tee) /3residing. The CHAIRMAN. The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs is conducting this hearing, and the hearing will be in order. It is Friday the thirteenth, and let me first thank the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors for the hospitality in makii7 this fa- cility available for our hearing today. I also want to thank mayor Goddard and the other w tesses for being available on such short notice, and thank myouse and Senate colleagues for taking their valuable time to paicipate in this hearing. As Chairman of the Interior Committee, and as a Member of the Arizona delegation, I have scheduled this hearing to try and find out where do we stand on the Phoenix Indian School issue, and perhaps to clear the air a little bit. I hope these hearings will serve three purposes: No. 1, we want to inquire into the justification for the proposed closure of the Indian educational facility. Our committee has the responsibility to ensure that this Nation's commitments to the Indian people are being met, including the commitment to provide a qualiq education to Indian children. The closure of this school should m t that test, or it should not be closed at all. No. 2, we want to determine how the educational needs of the Indian tribes and communities

M. Brooks, Statistical Reporting Service, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture 1977 I FOREWORD The Statistical Reporting Service, as with any organization, needs to know its past to understand the present and appraise the future. Accordingly, our technical procedures are peri- ^odically set forth in ''Scope and Methods of the Statistical Reporting Service," and the agency's early development and program expansion were presented in "The Story of Agricultural Estimates." However, most important are the people who de- veloped this complex and efficient statistical service for agriculture and those who maintain and expand it today. Dr. Harry C. Trelogan, SRS Administrator, 1961-1975, arranged for Emerson M. Brooks to prepare this informal account of some of the people who steered SRS's course from 1933 to 1961. The series of biographical sketches selected by the author are representative of the people who helped develop the per- sonality of SRS and provide the talent to meet challenges for accurate and timely agricultural information. This narrative touching the critical issues of that period and the way they'^ were resolved adds to our understanding of the agency and helps maintain the esprit de corps that has strengthened our work since it started in 1862. Our history provides us some valuable lessons, for "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." W.

At the government-run boarding school he attended, he often felt lonely and out of place. When the United States entered World War II, Hayes joined the Marines to serve his country. He thrived at boot camp and finally felt as if he belonged. Hayes fought honorably on the Pacific front and in 1945 was sent with his battalion to Iwo Jima, a tiny island south of Japan. There he took part in the ferocious fighting to secure the island. On February 23, 1945, Hayes was one of six men who raised the American flag on the summit of Mount Suribachi at the far end of the island. A photographer for the Associated Press, Joe Rosenthal, caught the flag- raising with his camera. Rosenthal’s photo became an iconic image of American courage and is one of the best-known war pictures ever taken. The photograph also catapulted Ira Hayes into the role of national hero, a position he felt he hadn’t earned.
