wish you would. I happen to believe that fine as the report of the council is in many respects, this morning, has shown that this area is a gaping hole in its report. I don't think the council should leave the subcommittee in this position. If you cannot supply the data, we will have to get the information elsewhere. I don't think $453 million is enough. I don't know what a figure is, but sometimes on this job you get to the point where you have to exercise intelligent guesses and my intelligent guess would be above $453 million. TRUE FEDERAL SHARE Counsel has asked me to ask the question, What is the present true Federal share, 10 or 20 percent, or what? Mr. KERLEY. Sir, we don't have data on that. The Commission plans in the States vary all over but I do think that the gathering of the data would be a very important piece of information. In my own particular case the State Commission has ruled that no one application from an institution may receive more than 20 percent of the State allocation or $1 million, whichever is the lesser. I know that in other States, the money has been spread even more thinly with maximums of half a million dollars for any one project. But we don't have data on the actual facts on the awards or recommendations by all the State commissions but it certainly would be helpful to both the entire educational community and this committee to have that data. I am sure it is available through the U.S. Office of Education but I don't have it with me. Senator MORSE. HEW you think can supply it? Mr. KERLEY. I do, sir. Senator MORSE. Counsel for the committee, I want a letter sent to the HEW asking for the information if they have it available or can make it available on this particular question as part of the record. (The information referred to follows:) MEMORANDUM FROM THE OFFICE OF EDUCATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEW SUMMARY OF GRANTS UNDER TITLE I OF PUBLIC LAW 88-204 FOR FISCAL YEARS 1965 and 1966 1 Does not include additional dollars needed for projects which were received by State commissions but were not funded at all. |
