PREPARED STATEMENT

(The statement referred to follows:)

STATEMENT BY ASSOCIATE COMMISSIONER FOR HIGHER EDUCATION ON "HIGHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES, OFFICE OF EDUCATION"

Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, we are requesting $475,272,000 for programs authorized by the Higher Education Act of 1965, an increase of $232,449,000 over the 1966 level. The President in his budget message indicated that the Congress has made education history in passing this law, and that it will "benefit this generation and clear the way to greater opportunity for future generations." Our request will provide expansion of these significant programs in their first full year of activity.

For title I grants to States for community service and continuing education programs, the estimate of $20 million will support 800 programs involving 200,000 citizens and 250 colleges and universities in a movement toward the realization of the richness of our cultural heritage outside the classroom, and the solution of problems peculiar to our highly urbanized society.

College library training and research assistance programs under title II provide a four-part attack on weaknesses in college libraries. A total of $35,300,000 includes $25 million for over 1,700 grants to institutions to purchase needed
