Congress." Nor has the President ceased to plead the case of education. The 89th Congress has responded to his plea with such alacrity that it bids fair to eclipse its predecessor as champion of American education. The measures passed by these Congresses move upon the educational shortcomings of our country in a variety of ways. They provide needed educational facilities and work towards complete equality of educational opportunity. They move toward supplying America with the highly skilled and diverse labor force necessary in a time of unparalleled technological change. In short, they seek to improve by every feasible means the general tenor of American teaching and learning. Some of the enactments expand and alter existing measures which have already proved their value, such as the National Defense Education Act, the Manpower Development and Training Act, and school assistance for federally affected areas. Other enactments, such as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, have opened new areas for Federal-State cooperation. With these significant contributions to the advancement of American education in mind, I am pleased to provide the Members of Congress with copies of two companion prints. This document summarizes education and training enactments handled by the Committee on Education and Labor from April 24, 1961, to November 8, 1965. The other print is a basic reference work of existing laws entitled "Compendium of Statutes Administered by, Delegating Authority to, or Under Which Authority Has Been Delegated to the U.S. Office of Education, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare." For this committee print, I am indebted to the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress, and in particular to Charles A. Quattlebaum, specialist in education, and to Frank L. Calhoun, legislative attorney. For the compendium, I thank the legislative staff of the Office of Education. ADAM C. POWELL, Chairman, Committee on Education and Labor. PREFACE The legislation handled by the Committee on Education and Labor during the Kennedy-Johnson years has already exerted, and will continue to exert, salutary effects on the quality of education in our society. These effects have not been confined to the schools themselves, but have been reflected in the state of our national security and in the general social and economic condition of our Nation. This report of legislative enactments during the period April 24, 1961, to November 8, 1965, provides a record of achievement which will stand American education in good stead for many decades to come. All America will benefit from the improved and expanded opportunities and facilities for intellectual, economic, social, and moral development engendered by these measures. The report is divided into two parts. Part I identifies the educational enactments of the above-mentioned period and furnishes legislative histories and brief summaries of them. Part II lists the amount of the original authorization for each program and the date for reconsideration or termination of the authorization. It is hoped that this document will prove useful as a ready source of information on recent Federal educational enactments. If this document can but assist interested persons in isolating neglected trouble spots in our educational system and in suggesting remedies for them, then the committee's effort in producing it will have been amply rewarded.
