PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT The main purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive record of the enactments by the 90th Congress during its second session, 1968, concerning education and training. Besides giving the texts of the enactments, the report presents digests of these laws, with particular reference to their educational and training features or aspects. The report also cites related recommendations and statements by President Johnson, and summarizes the legislative histories of the enacted bills containing educational and training provisions of significance. The report incidentally includes some selected comments from the public press relative to action on some of these bills. 2. SCOPE OF THE REPORT This report covers legislation relating generally to education and training. In the broadest sense, the former term includes the latter. It would be presumptuous, however, to attempt to define in this report precisely what legislation Congress would consider pertinent to or affecting education. Since the report is intended to be comprehensive, it includes acts relating to training as well as those relating to education, and acts concerning students, teachers, or educational institutions. Thus, the report covers a variety of legislation and legislative objectives. Apart from the omission of some appropriation measures,1 the aim is to include both legislation involving direct Federal financing and administration of educational and training activities, and legislation involving forms of Federal aid to States, localities, institutions, and individuals in these fields. In some instances the legislative provisions included are subsidiary parts of legislation principally concerned with other matters. In brief, what is here presented in a panoramic view of many diverse measures of current interest concerning education and training. All of the departments and nearly all of the independent agencies of the Government administer some educational or training programs. This report includes certain appropriations for only the U.S. Office of Education and some of the larger programs of other agencies affecting education and training, for the fiscal years 1968 and 1969. |
