The Senate Subcommittee on Employment, Poverty, and Migratory Labor today begins 4 days of hearings on legislative proposals relating to youth employment and the administration's welfare reform jobs bill. The subcommittee is pleased to have Secretary of Labor Ray Marshall as the leadoff witness at this set of hearings. A number of witnesses representing State, county and local governments, community-based organizations, vocational and educational agencies, employment and training institutions, and business and labor groups will also present testimony to the subcommittee. However, before Secretary Marshall begins, I would like to make a brief opening statement. During the past 3 years, the Congress has worked cooperatively and diligently with the Carter administration, and particularly with the Department of Labor, to develop a wide variety of employment and training programs to serve economically disadvantaged youth. In 1977, Congress enacted the Youth Employment and Demonstration Projects Act as a 3-year experimental program aimed at testing out various approaches to transitioning young people from school to work. At the end of this fiscal year, that legislation expires. Therefore, Congress must decide what program or series of youth employment programs to reauthorize for future years, the length of the reauthorization, and the levels of spending for the programs. On January 10, President Carter announced a major new education, training and employment program for youth. At that time the President stated that the youth program was his administration's "major domestic initiative for 1981." When fully implemented in 1982, the President's youth initiative, together with current youth programs, will provide almost $6 billion for basic education, work (1) |
