Summary
Amends the Library Services and Construction Act (the Act) to revise the definitions of "long-range program" and "Indian tribe." Makes specified requirements for maintenance of funding levels for public library systems applicable to Hawaiian native programs. Provides that, for purposes of basic State plan requirements, "limited English-speaking proficiency" shall be determined according to its definition under the Bilingual Education Act. Specifies that certain references under provisions relating to administrative costs are to titles I, II, and III of the Act. Excludes the amount made available for Indian tribes and Hawaiian natives from certain determinations for purposes of reservation of portions of State allotments for major urban resource libraries. Makes inapplicable in the case of Indian tribes and Indians in California, Oklahoma, and Alaska any provisions of title IV (Library Services for Indian Tribes) which require that services be provided on or near Indian reservations, or to only those Indians who live on or near Indian reservations. Amends the General Education Provision Act to authorize appropriations for the Minority Institutions Science Improvement Program for FY 1985 and 1986. Amends the Harry S Truman Memorial Scholarship Act to remove the dollar limitation on stipends paid under such Act. Authorizes the Harry S Truman Scholarship Foundation to prescribe regulations governing the amount of such stipends.
