The 2percent cut proposed by the gentleman would take the Labor/HHS discretionary total. as I understand it. well below what is needed to obtain a signature on the bill. It would cut more than $500 million from the bill. But whats worst. it would do so by a rash. acrosstheboard approach. with the subtlety and finesse of a butchers knife. Let me tell you about the programs it would reduce below the fiscal year 1984 appropriation level: Job Training block grant. Summer Youth Employment. Dislocated Worker Training. Child Welfare Assistance. Work Incentives for Welfare Recipients. Migrant Education programs. Vocational Education. TRIO programs. like Upward Bound.
