Senator Bard's amendment to the Indian appropriation bill, now before Congress, clarifies that no funds held by the United States for Indian tribes shall be used to support sectarian or denomination schools, including those on the Umatilla reservation. The provision, part of the Titian appropriation bill, explicitly blocks principal and interest from funding sectarian education.
