The Subcommittee on Elementary, Secondary, and Vocational Education of the Committee on Education and Labor met to hear the need for miscellaneous and technical amendments to the Vocational Education Act Amendments of 1976. The discussion focused on the question of how much in Federal funds ought to be used for support of State and local vocational education program administration. The new vocational amendments would limit the State administration to $25 million a year and would bar the use of Federal funds for local administration. Representing The American Vocational Association, Lowell A. Burkett delivered the primary testimony which called for more funds to be used for support of State and local administration of vocational education programs. Numerous letters, prepared statements, and supplementary materials (all of which are included in this document) were also presented as they related to the proposed amendments. (BM)
