[H.R. 10908, 91st Cong., first sess.] A BILL To develop and strengthen a symstematic National, State, and local manpower policy and provide for a comprehensive delivery of manpower services Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That this Act may be cited as the "Comprehensive Manpower Act of 1969." FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE SEC. 2. In recognition of the unmet needs of the unemployed and underemployed, the Congress finds that it is essential to the welfare of all Americans that concerted action be taken by National, State, and local governments to more effectively and economically utilize State and Federal funds for manpower training, work experience, job placement, and other services. Further, that it is essential to (1) establish explicit priorities for the allocation of these funds to insure that they are used to reach and assist those in greatest need of manpower services; (2) to establish clear cut goals for the total system of manpower training, work experience, placement, and other services to maximize the effectiveness of the system in assisting individuals to find and maintain gainful employment; (3) to enlist the full support of private industry in securing jobs for enrollees of manpower programs; (4) to link together and coordinate the efforts of Federal, State, and local public and private agencies involved in performing manpower services; (5) to facilitate a smoother transition for students leaving the Nation's educational institutions and entering the world of work; (6) to develop new approaches for improved services and changes in traditional organizational patterns used to assist economically disadvantaged and insufficiently trained individuals; and (7) to coordinate the Nation's manpower needs and services as closely as possible with economic development, transportation planning, new residential housing, and other factors related to the development of new job opportunities. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS SEC. 3. There is hereby authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary for making grants under this Act the sum of $2,000,000,000 for the fiscal year 1971, $2,300,000,000 for the fiscal year 1972, $2,500,000,000 for fiscal year 1973, and $3,000,000,000 for the fiscal year 1974. For the fiscal year 1975, and each succeeding fiscal year there is authorized to be appropriated only such sums as the Congress may hereafter authorize by law. USE OF FUNDS SEC. 4. From the sums appropriated for making grants under this Act for a fiscal year, the Secretary shall reserve 30 per centum for making grants authorized under section 12. The remainder of such sums shall be used by him to make grants to assist States to carry out comprehensive manpower plans as hereinafter provided. ALLOTMENTS TO STATES SEC. 5. (a) The Secretary shall allot among the States the funds remaining after he has made the reservation required by section 4 in accordance with uniform standards, and in arriving at such standards, he shall consider only the following factors: (1) the proportion which the manpower allotment of a State during the preceding fiscal year bears to the total manpower allotments of all States during the preceding fiscal year; (2) the proportion which the nonagricultural labor force of a State bears to the total nonagricultural labor force of the United States; (3) the proportion which the unemployed within a State bears to the total number of unemployed in the United States; and (4) the proportion which the population, age fourteen through seventeen years, in a State bears to the total population, age fourteen through seventeen years, in the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the allotment for the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands shall be $150,000, and none of the remaining States shall be allotted less than $1,000,000. (b) The amount of any State's allotment under subsection (a) for any fiscal year which the Secretary determines will not be required for such year shall, if section 10 does not provide for its expenditure, be available for reallotment from time to time, on such dates during such year as the Secretary may fix, to other States in such amounts as the Secretary shall determine. DEVELOPMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE MANPOWER PLANS SEC. 6. The Secretary shall enter into an agreement with the Governor of each State under which a planning group will develop a comprehensive manpower plan for the State. Such planning group shall consist of the appropriate State agencies, including the State education agency and the State employment service, and representatives of labor, management, private agencies active in the manpower field, and the public, appointed by the Governor. Each such agreement shall (1) require each comprehensive manpower plan to set forth a long-range program plan (or, as is appropriate, a supplement to, or revision of, a previously submitted long-range program plan) for programs to be carried on with assistance under this Act, which program plan extends over three years beginning with the fiscal year for which the comprehensive manpower plan is submitted, describes the present and projected needs for programs provided for in this Act, and sets forth the long-range program objectives; (2) require each comprehensive manpower plan to set forth an annual program plan, which describes the content of, and allocation of Federal funds to, programs, services, and activities to be carried out under the plan during the year for which Federal funds are sought, and indicates how and to what extent such programs, services, and activities will carry out the program objectives set forth in the long-range program plan; (3) require (A) that institutional training be, where possible, arranged or provided through State education or training agencies and that such training and on-the-job training provided for under the plan be of high quality and be so constituted as to duration and content as to meet the special needs of trainees, (B) that adequate and safe facilities, and adequate personnel and records of attendance and progress be provided, and (C) that is the case of on-the-job training, each trainee's program involve reasonable progression and reasonable compensation considering such factors as industry, geographical region, and trainee proficiency; |
