Mr. CAIN. It is my understanding, also, Mr. Chairman, that consi eration is being given by these two Senators for the introduction a similar amendment to S. 3098 in the second session of the 90: Congress, and that there is also a consideration being given to the in troduction of similar legislation in the House, in the current sessio Senator YARBOROUGH. Now, had you completed your statement? Mr. CAIN. Yes; that completes it.

Senator YARBOROUGH. Now, to Dr. Stoughton and to all of the pan what moneys do you think it would take to carry out these recor mendations which I understand are jointly from all of you that I Cain has just made for the study, for the committee, for institution support? What federal moneys in addition to the other funds do y think it would take for administration?

I take it this is mainly an administrative capacity that you se here. Not direct moneys for the student to go to school. He wou earn money as he went. Is that correct? You are seeking seed mon for administrative purposes to set up this administration to have t advisory committee to separate this handling from the work-stud In other words, to give it more status, you might say, and recognitio Mr. CAIN. Yes, sir. May I, at this point, make one further commen Under S. 3098, under title IV, there is proposed a national adviso committee on student financial aid. One of the recommendations of o two organizations was that a separate committee be established. It of course, conceivable that a subcommittee of this overall committ might be formed, but we do feel that persons knowledgeable regardi cooperative education be appointed to this committee.

Senator YARBOROUGH. I take it, then, Dr. Cain, that your prima recommendation is for a separate committee such as described in poi

of your recommendation, be created on cooperative education, tebe pointed to people knowledgeable in the field, or failing that, that tre be a subcommittee of the larger committee on student aid to specifically with cooperative education. Is that correct?

Mr. CAIN. Yes, sir. The report as outlined in this proposed amendent of Senators Hartke and Kuchel provided for institutional support for administration programs which would enable institutions to ate and expend cooperative education.

Senator YARBOROUGH. Do you have a recommendation at this time, or does the panel, as to what funds you request for this for the first Tear?

I take it that is point 4 of your recommendation that funds approrated-you say funds which may be appropriated for support of coerative education by the Congress be administered by the Office of Elation with requests for such funds submitted directly to this of5. and grants made directly to institutions, or through appropriate ernmental agencies.

Do you have a recommendation as to what amounts you would recend be authorized? This is authorizing legislation, as you know, the appropriations legislation.

Mr. CAIN. Yes; I recognize there is a difference between authorizaand appropriation.

Nezator YARBOROUGH. The Hartke-Kuchel bill would authorize er and a quarter million for the first year.

Mr. CAIN. Yes, sir; with a maximum, may I add, for any institution. ing such funds of $65,000 in any fiscal year, and for a maximum

43 rears.

Now, this may be changed or modified if this is introduced in the

e later in this current session, but we do not, Mr. Chairman, have specific recommendation as to an amount. We do recognize and eciate the severe difficulty in which the Congress is now operating, dering revenues and expenditures, and a demand on the Federal a olar. So I can only state that we support, in general, without king any specific recommendations on an amount, the legislation. oposed last year by Senators Hartke and Kuchel.

Serator YARBOROUGH. Thank you. Dr. Stoughton, from your panel, re any other observations, gentlemen, that any of you on the desire to make on this point?

M.ARMSTRONG, I might like to make one.

tor YARBOROUGH. Do you have one?

Mr. ARMSTRONG. I might like to add that we do have a number of you may, or may not have realized that partici

we colleges which

ted in this program: The University of Texas at Austin, and UniSery at Arlington, Texas A. & M. University, North Texas State ity, Sam Houston State College, Southwest Texas State ColUnversity of Houston, East Texas State University.

or YARBOROUGH. I knew of four of those. It is broader than I

straized.

M: ARMSTRONG. We participate with those eight.

ator YARBOROUGH. Anyone else?

NICHOLSON. Senator Yarborough, I would like to point out again hal sentence in my statement to you, which is that funds expended

for such a purpose would really be more of a nature of an investment, returning a great deal more, we feel, in the essential human gains than economic and scientific gains. Here is where the Federal Government. despite the straits you find yourself in, could very probably pump in money and achieve far more in returns than what you have temporarily provided for in pump priming.

Senator YARBOROUGH. Thank you. I noticed with great interest, Dr Nicholson, in describing your university, how great it was. By the word "public," you avoided controversy with the great University of Houston, and by area, you avoided conflict with the institution over on the Brazos or perhaps one here on the Colorado. That statemen is worthy of an announcement of a candidate for office. Dr. NICHOLSON. I appreciate that.

Senator YARBOROUGH. It is perfect protection.

Dr. NICHOLSON. We have our distinguishments, but in announcing them, we don't like to run into unnecessary conflicts. Senator YARBOROUGH. Congratulations.

Mr. CAIN. May I make one additional comment. Mr. Chairman about the amendment which had been proposed by Senators Hartk and Kuchel. Under section 671B, there is the statement approving authorization for appropriation of $725,000 for the next fisca year and for each of 4 succeeeding years for the purpose of makin training and research grants to institutions and/or nonprofit organi zations, but there is no limit on the amount for any single institution within that amount, and I should like to suggest that there should h some limit within that amount which any single institution or organi zation could request.

Senator YARBOROUGH. Would you recommend that that limitatio bear the same relationship to that sum that the $65,000 limitation bear to the $7,250,000 in the other categories?

Mr. CAIN. It certainly would seem rather reasonable, Mr. Chairma: Senator YARBOROUGH. With the safeguard. Any other comments o any other member of the panel? Any contributions?

Dr. STOUGHTON. I think there are no further comments. I coneu with Dr. Nicholson. I certainly, on behalf of the panel, Senator Ya borough. I certainly wish to again extend our sincere thanks for heal ing us today, and we offer our future assistance if we can be of any hel in helping establish a better form of higher education for futu Americans.

Senator YARBOROUGH. Thank you, Dr. Stoughton. As you gentlema know these statements are printed in full in the record, and under o rules, this record must be printed and available to every member of t Educational Subcommittee; then, to the full Labor and Public We fare Committee before we consider the bill and the amendments, an then, it is far enough ahead that we have the staff officers work th over. We have attorneys and staff. I have a personal staff and commi tee staff here, and they digest this, and they digest the statements.

Then, the members of the committee turn to this-the books a indexed by your names and dates chronologically so that is easy find it. Then, before this bill is considered on the floor of the Senat that report is put on every Senator's desk. We can, despite the volun of the reports, find the readily available material that we need to su

the views taken, thanks to my very thorough staff, so we thank Fo very much for taking time out-you are all very busy people-to me here and give us the benefit of these needs and this evidence on home grounds.

This committee has met in Washington a number of times, met in Oregon, and I feel that our State, now having moved up to fourth in the Union on the last estimate of the Bureau of the Census in populaton, that it is worthy of having a hearing in this entire southwestern area. Thank you very much for coming. We have an Alabamian here, from Senator Lister Hill's State.

Next witness is Mr. Kiaran Dooley, director of Federal relations, e Department of Public Instruction, Bismarck, N. Dak. Will you me around, please?

Believe, Mr. Dooley, that you are appearing with that phase of the that deals with instructional equipment and materials. We do not t you. Of course, that is a primary topic of interest that you indited, but now that you are here to testify, the forum is yours.

STATEMENT OF KIARAN L. DOOLEY, DIRECTOR OF FEDERAL RELATIONS, STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, BISMARCK, N. DAK.

Mr. DOOLEY. Thank you, Senator Yarborough. It is a real privilege honor, and a challenge of a small country boy from the State of A Dakota to appear with the very capable people who have pred me on the committee.

1

rator YARBOROUGH. We enjoy working with your two Senators f North Dakota, Senator Young and Senator Quentin Berkley. Mr. DOOLEY. Yes; and they depend a lot on you, and they respect as much as we do. I was quite pleased to see the setting in which committee is meeting today. These are the kind of facilities that hope to incorporate into the instructional phase of our schools. Le new schools in our State, we have made an effort to try to ase the efficiency and the effectiveness of the teacher to the use ll selected and well planned audiovisual situations, and Senator orough, we, in elementary and secondary education owe much to for the inclusion of title II in the National Defense Education title III, rather, of the National Defense Education Act as a part Mtle VI.

It was not until I assumed my position in the Department of Public ction that I realized the dire lack of any sentiments of adequate ries in most of our school districts, regardless of size. In reviewing sitation reports for some 350 high school districts visited during od 1954 to 1959, it was quite unusual to find other than subard ratings for the science facilities, equipment, materials, and .the program in the school.

Talibrary and other resource materials in most of the districts were ent as the science facilities. Instructional materials, audiomaterials, equipment and devices to make the instructional more meaningful were lacking. When available, essentials such logs, dictionaries and such, were often badly worn and
