FEDERAL AID TO SCHOOLS IN IMPACTED AREAS UNDER PUBLIC LAWS 874 AND 815

Mr. FOGARTY. Mr. Lilly white, are you going to justify the destruction of Public Laws 874 and 815?

I feel sorry for you coming up here on a day like this trying to justify this budget. I do not know of any stronger lobby that comes to Congress than the school administrators from these federally impacted

areas.

I think they are still strong. They want to meet with me next week. I think the same thing is going to happen this year that has happended before when previous administrations have not requested funding of the full entitlements under the law in these impacted

areas.

I thought I would let you know how I feel before you start. Now you go ahead and say what you want to say.

GENERAL STATEMENT

Mr. LILLYWHITE. Do you wish me to read the statement?
Mr. FOGARTY. We will put it in the record.

Mr. LILLYWHITE. The information, of course, on the way the cuts are to be made and what is to happen is presented in the justification. Mr. FOGARTY. We will put them in the record, as we usually do at the end of this section of the hearings.

(The prepared statements follows:)

PAYMENTS TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS

STATEMENT BY ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER, DIVISION OF SCHOOL ASSISTANCE IN FEDERALLY AFFECTED AREAS ON "PAYMENTS ΤΟ SCHOOL DISTRICTS, OFFICE OF EDUCATION"

Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, for "Payments to school districts" we are requesting $183.400,000 for 1967, a decrease of $163,600,000 from 1966. Titles I and III of Public Law 874, as amended, authorize financial assistance for the maintenance and operation of schools in areas where enrollments are increased by Federal activities. Public Law 89-10 extended the temporary provisions of the act through June 30, 1968. The District of Columbia was made eligible for assistance in 1965, and Public Law 89-313 enacted November 1, 1965, reduced eligibility requirements for large city districts from 6 to 3 percent.

Payments usually are made to local school districts. When these districts cannot assume responsibility for educating children living on Federal property, payments are made to other Federal agencies to provide such education.

Our request of $183,400,000 reflects proposals which will be made by the administration to amend titles I and III of the law. These changes are based primarily on the Sanford Research Insititute report, and would make the Federal payments more nearly fit the actual financial burdens imposed on local agencies. The principal amendments are described in the justification. Approximately $24,5000,000 will be needed for section 6, payments to other Federal agencies, and $158,900,000 will be used for grants to eligible applicants. This amount will provide payments to approximately 3,000 districts.

The decrease in entitlements will to some extent be offset by assistance provided to local agencies under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Some minor amendments will be proposed to eliminate inequities and improve administration. No change in total costs is anticipated.

We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

ASSISTANCE FOR SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION

OF

STATEMENT BY ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER, DIVISION
SCHOOL ASSISTANCE IN
FEDERALLY AFFECTED AREAS ON "ASSISTANCE FOR SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION, OFFICE
OF EDUCATION"

Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, our budget includes an amount of $22.937,000 for "Assistance for school construction" in 1967, a decrease of $27,141,000 from 1966.

Payments are made under Public Law 815 to assist in construction of schools in areas where public school enrollments are increased by Federal activities. Grants are made to local districts under section 5 of the act, and section 10 authorizes the Commissioner to arrange for the construction of schools for children living on Federal property when no local educational agency is able to provide school facilities for such children.

The temporary provisions of the law cover children whose parents either work or reside on Federal property. The decrease in our request is due to the fact that these provisions will expire on June 30, 1966. Our estimate of $22,937,000 is expected to provide funds in full for all eligible school districts and for schools constructed on Federal property under the permanent provisions which include children whose parents work and reside on Federal property. Approximately $12,317,000 will be required for local agencies, about $10 million will be used for construction on Federal properties, and $620,000 is estimated for technical services rendered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. In total, about 87 projects are expected to be approved, providing about 1,000 classrooms to house approximately 29,000 pupils.

We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

STANFORD STUDY OF 815 AND 874 PROGRAMS

Mr. LILLYWHITE. The 88th Congress directed the Commissioner to make a study of the extent to which the impact laws, 815 and 874, were meeting the purpose for which they were intended, and appropriated $200,000 to have the study made. The Office felt it was better to have an outside organization not connected with the Office make the study, and contracted with the Stanford Research Institute to make it.

The study was completed and submitted to the Congress on June 30 as directed by the legislation, which said, "and if the laws are to be extended to make recommendations regarding them."

With the recommendations, the Commissioner made a statement they were not being submitted for immediate action by the Congress last year, but were submitted in accordance with the legislative direction and that the recommendations that would be made to the Congress for 1967 would consider this report, together with the other programs and the recommendations, would reflect on the administration's feeling of how to do the best job for all American education. It was out of that study, I think primarily, that the administration decided to recommend the reduction in the cost of 874 and not to recommend the continuation of the temporary provisions of 815 which end June 30 of this year.

BUDGET BUREAU REDUCTION

Mr. FOGARTY. Who is responsible for this budget, the Commissioner of Education, or the Bureau of the Budget?
