Congress of the U.S., Washington, DC. House Committee on Education and Labor.
This report presents the findings and recommendations of the Committee on Education and Labor, to which was referred the bill, H.R. 4728, to establish programs of education and training designed to improve the competitiveness of American workers in international trade. An explanation of the bill first provides committee feelings regarding Title I, Education for American Competitiveness, which authorizes three types of educational programs to improve the knowledge and skills of current and future workers in areas that will enhance their productivity and competitiveness. Committee intent regarding Title II, Training for Industrial Competitiveness, is then set forth. Major focus is on the establishment of a new training program under Title IV of the Job Training Partnership Act that specifically addresses the adjustment needs of workers who have lost their jobs because of their employers' inability to compete with imports or the loss of export markets. A section-by-section analysis of H.R. 4728, as reported, follows. Supplemental views are attached. (YLB)
