Bethel Citizens Committee
Opposes BIA's Proposal
For Bethel AF Station
Following is a communication
from the Bethel Citizens Commit
tee to the Nugget:
The Bethel Citizens Committee
urges you to publicize the fact
that they oppose a B1A plan to
use the multi-million-dollar Bethel
Air Force Base for administrative
use.
We contend that almost no reno
vation is needed for its use as a
boarding facility for high school
students, but it will require great
cost to renovate for offices and
apartment for a few BIA employes.
A boarding high school is bad
ly needed in the Kuskokwim and
Yukon River delta. There is no ap
parent plan at present for the high
school education of natives of this
area less than a thousand miles
from home.
The Air Force base is six miles
out of town making accessibility
to natives without private cars
very costly unless the BIA plans
to built a monorail or its equi
valent.
