I am alarmed at the consequences of Mr. QUIES proposals for Californias education programs. A catastrophic casualty of the Quie bill would be programs designed for migrant children under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. In fiscal year 1967. California received $1.421.000 for these programs. For appropriating purposes. migrant children were grouped with other special beneficiaries such as handicapped children. foster children. students in overseas Department of Defense schools. and in Government Indian schools. under ESEAs title V. The amendments to ESEA for fiscal year . 1968. however. would include migrant children with all other educationally disadvantaged children under title I. vastly multiplying benefits available to them. In California in fiscal 1968. - they would receive more than $3 mil* liona heartening indication that the particular problems of these children are finally receiving the attention they so urgently require. Consider. then. the cruel blow inflicted by the Quie bill on children of migrant workers. After a first year of encouraging new programs. and the promise of a doubled effort next year. they suddenly would have no guarantee of any attention at all. for there is no language in the Que bill providing specifically for the needs of migrant children. And our education authorities at the Federal level predict that programs for migrant children "would dwindle to nothing." Another tragic casualty of the Quie bill would be the Teacher Corps. which has enabled 262 veteran teachers and 965 college graduate interns to assist disadvantaged children in 275 schools in 11 school districts in 29 States. all of them by invitation. In a report issued April 20. the National Advisory Commission on the Education of Disadvantaged Children said: The NTC is too badly needed and too promising to be either discontinued or treated as a temporary stopgap. Of all present investments of public effort. few are likely to yield so large a return.
