Our amendment would increase titles II and IV from the $400 million level voted by the committee to $420 millionagain which is the Houseapproved level. We would note that we also share the view of the committee that these additional funds should be used to increase the funding of SER and OIC and to meet the special needs of the limited EnglishSpeaking communities in the East and Southwest which traditionally have been underserved. Other groups. such as migrants and Indians. also would receive additional funding under our amendment since they are guaranteed a percentage allocation of the title I funding level. I would also hope that there would be a general increase in the number of persons over 55 served by our Federal manpower programs. On this point. although I had urged additional funding.
