At my request the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress has performed a public service in preparing for the use of the Subcommittee on Education of the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare the enactments of the first session of the 90th Congress. The present work is the fourth so prepared for our use. It was preceded by the "Enactments of the Second Session of the 89th Congress," the "Enactments of the First Session of the 89th Congress," and by the "Enactments of the 88th Congress," each of which has been most useful to the committee and, I hope as well to senatorial offices and members of the educational community.
Much has been accomplished in the field of educational legislation in the past 5 years. A foundation has been laid in the 90th Congress upon which we can build. The materials which follow will be most valuable to us as we take up the recommendations which will come forth in this year.
On behalf of my colleagues on the subcommittee I wish to express to the Library of Congress my appreciation for the time and effort expended by Mr. Charles Quattlebaum, specialist in education, Senior Specialist Division, who prepared the legislative histories and summaries of the bills and to the American Law Division of the Legislative Reference Service, which is responsible for the preparation of the Annotated Statutes which conclude the volume.
WAYNE MORSE, Chairman, Education Subcommittee.
