I would not bother. but this is an argument that did not start with the Reagan administration. It is an argument that we have had with preceding administrations about the failure of some bureaucrats to be able to understand the real nature of specific programs. For example. the migrant education program is. in the theory of some people. an elementary and secondary compensatory program so it really ought to be under the office administering the chapter 1 compensatory program. In any event. the gentleman knows this because he was on the committee that wrote the legislation. when the Department of Education was created. At that time a number of us who were concerned about this pattern that we had had in the past of tinkering each time there was a change in secretaries or commissioners insisted as a condition to supporting that reorganization bill for the creation of the Department that we have these three areas of responsibility maintain some identity that would keep them from being submerged and become secondary in the minds of the bureaucracy over there. We did not want them to get lost and fall through thecracks. The three are migrant education. womens equity. and civil rights. All three of those have been. by just drawing new boxes on a chart. changed from the position they had. which had them reporting to an assistant secretary. to becoming subordinate pieces of a much larger shop. They have been reduced in size and. indeed. they have been buried in the bureaucracy.
