Recommendations made by the Regents of The University of the State of New York and directed to the first session of the 95th Congress are described in the 1977 edition of the Regents series. The report asks that several federal education programs be reviewed, both with respect to their substantive provisions and the administrative patterns of increased federal intervention. These include a major review of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act including careful appraisal of Title I. Several important revisions of other statutes--vocational rehabilitation, library services, vocational education, and education of handicapped children--should be made to assure effective administration and results. Third, the Congress should address excessive requirements of the Veterans Administration affecting colleges and universities concerning veterans' education programs. Fourth, an appropriation should be made under existing legislative authorities for construction and renovation of educational facilities. (Author/MLF)
