Another $42 million for Volunteers in Service in America. $71 million for the Foster Grandparent Program. $10 million for the Inexpensive Book Distribution Programwhich is an oxymoron if one ever existed. $48 million for the National Center of Education Statistics. $8 million for the National Education Dissemination System. $311 million for bilingual and immigrant education. $386 million for Educational Research and Development. $1 million for the Institute of International Public Policy. $16 million for National AIDS Education and Training Centers. $180 million for Family Planning Services. $18 million for overseas schools and colleges. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Now. to be sure. there are some very worthwhile expenditures included in the totals. such as funding for our Nations military academies. along with research grants to colleges and universities from which we derive direct benefits in many areas of our lives.
