Summary of Major Federal Education Legislation. A Joint Report to the States.

This booklet presents descriptive and background information on major federal education legislation in an attempt to help educators and other concerned citizens effectively influence future changes in such legislation. Descriptions of legislation are first arranged by year of expiration, starting with bills that can be extended from fiscal year 1975 to the next session and including legislative programs due to expire in 1976, 1977, and 1978, as well as those with no scheduled renewal. Within each listing by expiration year, descriptions of individual laws are organized into separate categories for elementary-secondary legislation, postsecondary legislation, legislation related to the organization of the Education Division of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and miscellaneous education legislation.
