JUSTIFICATION OF PROPOSED LANGUAGE CHANGE

1.

y-one

Change: Education, including provision of insurance, maintenance, and acceptance of not to exceed (thirty) thirty-o passenger motor vehicles on a loan basis for exclusive use in the driver education program.

Analysis: The Wood Oldsmobile, Incorporated is providing a 1971 Cutlass, specially equipped to teach handicapped
students to drive.

2. Change: $146,111,100 of which ($125,100) $165,000 shall be payable from the Highway Fund.

Analysis: Selected receipts from sale of learner permits are placed by Legislation in the Highway Fund to be made
available for use in connection with the D. C. School's Driver Training Program. The increase is a result of the
increased fee in learner permits.

Change: (The development of National Defense Education Programs, not to exceed $4,000,000 for payment to the Teachers'
Retirement and Annuity Fund, and matching of Federal grants under the National Defense Education Act of September 2, 1958
(72 Stat. 1580), as amended.)

Analysis:

The National Defense Education Act of September 2, 1958, 72 Stat. 1580, defines the District of Columbia as a "State" eligible for grant funds, therefore, the language is no longer necessary.

The passage of Public Law 91-263, amending the "Teachers" Retirement Act, has set a fixed amount for teachers retirement
and therefore, the language is no longer necessary.

Change: That certificates of the following officials shall each be sufficient voucher for expenditures from this appro-
priation for such purposes as they may respectively deem necessary within the amounts specified: Superintendent of
Schools, $1,000; President of the Federal City College, $1,000; and President of the Washington Technical Institute,
$1,000. Add to the above, an additional $1,500 in a fund, to be audited, for the Superintendent of Public Schools'
representation fund. This latter sum will be used primarily for meeting expenses, such as luncheons in connection with
the Superintendent representing the Public Schools in meetings, conferences, and similar activities.

Analysis:

This is a modest increase to reflect both the price increase and the actual experience incurred in the
representation by the Superintendent. This request is similar to that requested by the colleges.
