S 19756 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE November 20, 1974
izations bill, is the clearcut responsibility
we are faced with today in seeking to
provide the means to insure full educa-
tional opportunities for all handicapped
children. The first step in bringing about
reforms and improvements in meeting
the national educational needs of our 7
million handicapped children necessi-
tates realistic funding levels at this time.
By failing to appropriate adequate funds
to meet these goals, previous passage of
authorization legislation appears to be
!dealistic rhetoric.
While all Americans focus on ways to
combat recession and its adverse condi-
tions, it is my judgment that we must
look ahead, in terms of investment over
the years as we compare cost of these
services now versus realistic provision of
future services. The investment we con-
sider today is not simply idealization of
fulfilling human potential, but realistic
planning in terms of bringing self-
sufficiency to our Nation's handicapped.
If at this time adequate funding levels
are met, in the field of education, rather
than face far greater annual cost as we
continue to pay billions for dependency-
related programs, we will realize profit in
return as these children served through
our efforts today become self-supporting
and productive citizens of tomorrow.
I urge my colleagues to join with me
in supporting Senator STAFFORD's amend-
ment to add $25 million to the commit-
tee's recommendation at the level of $125
million, keeping in mind that this figure
of a total of $150 million is still less
than 25 percent of the entitlement we
approved in passing the Education
Amendments of 1974. This is-the time to
put our money where our laws are, and
I urge my colleagues to give this impor-
tant measure their favorable considera-
tion at this time.
Mr. MAGNUSON. May I just do this,
so that the record is clear? I do not
suggest that this is all, that it is adequate.
It might turn out to be that. But the
committee bill will serve about 600,000
children. That is 347,000 more than were
served last year under the budget. I
think we moved it up pretty fast.
Mr. STAFFORD. Will the Senator yield
me about 30 seconds?
Mr. MAGNUSON. Oh, surely. I just
want these figures in the RECORD.
Mr. STAFFORD. I wish to comment
that I think we are making remarkable
progress, but we are talking about 3 mil-
lion children that are either deaf, blind,
retarded speech-impaired, motor-im-
paired, or emotionally disturbed. We are
also talking about $25 million more to
reach those 3 million children that are
not getting any services today.
I am prepared to vote.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr.
NUNN). All time has expired. The ques-
tion is on agreeing to the amendment of
the Senator from Vermont (Mr. STAF-
FORD). On this question, the yeas and
nays have been ordered, and the clerk
will call the roll.
The assistant legislative clerk called
the roll.

LEN), the Senator from Idaho (M
CHURCH), the Senator from Missouri FM .

O Mr STAFFORD'S amendment was re-
jecte
Mr. BELLMON. Mr. President, I have
an amendment at the desk and I ask that
it be reported.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk
will report.
The assistant legislative clerk read as
follows:
On page 28, line 3, and continuing to line
4 after the words "determining the" strike
the word "ownership" and insert in lieu
thereof the word "disposition".
Mr. BELLMON. Mr. President, the
Senate, some weeks ago, passed and sent
to the House S. 4016, a bill relating to
the disposition of and governing access
to the Presidential materials of former
President Nixon. This was a comprehen-
sive piece of legislation expressing the
overwhelming will of the Senate regard-
ing these materials. S. 4016 itself, as well
as its legislative history, makes it abun-
dantly clear that the one area not covered
was ownership. It was not "legislation
determining ownership" of these docu-
ments, tapes, and materials.
However, section 203 as presently writ-
ten provides it will remain effective until
June 30, 1975, unless Congress enacts
legislation determining the "ownership"
of these materials.
It would effectively prevent compliance
with S. 4016 if enacted. This is a result
I am sure no one wants.
My amendment is a simple one. By
merely changing" one word "ownership"
to "disposition", section 203 would cease
to be effective upon passage of S. 4016
thereby permitting' compliance with its
provisions. It would have no other effect.
It is my understanding that the Mem-
ber of the House that sponsored this pro-
vision on the floor of the House has no
objection to this change of words.
I hope that the chairman of the Sub-
committee on Treasury-Post Office hav-
ing cognizance over this matter and the
chairman of the committee will accept
this amendment.
Mr. President, the purpose of this
amendment is to make the language in
this bill correspond to the language in
the Senate bill S. 4106, which the Senate
passed recently.
It has been discussed with the dis-
tinguished chairman of the Appropria-
tions Committee, with the chairman of
the subcommittee and, I believe, they
have agreed to accept the amendment.
Mr. McCLELLAN. Mr. President, I
have no objection to the amendment, and
I am perfectly willing to accept it if the
distinguished Senator from Washington
will.
Mr. MAGNUSON, Yes.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is all
time yielded back?
Mr. BELLMON. I yield back the re-
mainder of my time.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is all
time yielded back? The Senator from
Washington. -
Mr. MAGNUSON. Yes.

November 20, 1974 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE S 19755
my amendment, it would presumably be
with the objective of holding down Fed-
eral spending. But should we force these
children who have been denied the bene-
fits that are available to all other chil-
dren, to continue to be denied such bene-
fits and thus bear the heaviest burden
of our Nation's economic difficulties. To
do so would be trantamount to piling in-
justice upon injustice, and I do not be-
lieve that is the will of the U.S. Senate.
Mr. President, I ask my colleagues for
their full support for this amendment.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The time
of the Senator from Vermont has ex-
pired.
Mr. MAGNUSON. I yield time to the
Senator from New Hampshire.
Mr. COTTON. Mr. President, I have
great sympathy with the purpose that
my friendfrom Vermonthas in mind. I
doubt if there is a Member of this Senate
who has more reason to sympathize. I
have a brother, whom I have maintained
for all of his life, who has been handi-
capped and could have been, with some
of these attentions that we are giving
now, able to lead a useful and productive
and happy life.
But, Mr. President, let me say just a
couple of things.
In the first place, on this matter of
State grant programs, the House jumped
the budget by nearly $40 million, and
our committee increased the House bill
by $40 million more, making a total of
$125 million. Right on the same page in
this supplemental are many of these
other appropriations for the handi-
capped. The (leaf-blind centers have $12
million; the early childhood projects $14
million; the specific learning disabilities
program $3.250 million; the regional re-
source centers which participate in this,
over $9 million; the innovation and de-
velopment program, almost $10 million.
All of this is under education for the
handicapped, and all of this is in this
supplemental bill.
I could go on reading the list, but. when
we get to the total of the appropriations
that are in this bill for handicapped chil-
dren, it comes to $324,809,000. That is
more than we have ever appropriated
before.
On this matter of entitlement, it is a
good word, but entitlement means that
a legislative committee has decided to
appropriate money and it is entitled, so
we have no control over it. We could not
have gone to what he calls a complete
entitlement. I believe I understood him
to say that maybe a third of the children
handicapped in some way are already
not receiving special attention. But cer-
tainly, more children than ever before-
I would say almost double-under this
appropriation will be taken care of.
For that reason, sympathetic as I am,
I do not see how the Senate can find its
way to overturn its committee. I trust
that it will not do so, because I am afraid
that it will endanger the whole program
and we might come out with less.
I do not want to take time away from
my friend. I yield back the remainder of
my time.
Mr. MAGNUSON. Mr. President, he ^e
again, no one will deny the fact that we
want to take care of every handicapped
child in the United States, wherever he
is. But sDmetimes, we have to have regu-
lations to find out who is handicapped.
It is east- for us to find the people who are
physically handicapped, but we are get-
ting into a field now where some of these
people r.re suggesting that the regula-
tion sho'lld be revised to include perhaps
a boy ir. a junior high school or a girl
who did not get very good grades-solr:e
of us were in that position. That means
that we are a little handicapped men-
tally, does it not? We did not get good
grades.
We are trying to figure out how to
do this. HEW typically is still dragging
their heels-I shall agree with that. They
are in the process ofwriting regulations.
This means that the money probably
would not get to the States until after
the beginning of the year, anyway. The
committee bill represents adequate 6-
months' funding for this program, so we
can look at it again.
The Senator from New Hampshire
mentioned that the bill contains $125
million. That is an increase of $78 mil-
lion over the President's budget request.
The committee bill is about three
times-t.aree times-what the States got
last year. Now, that is about as fast as
we can move until we can find out more
clearly where we are going.
I appreciate, as all of us do, the mo-
tives of the Senator from Vermont. I
know there are some- other children who
ought to be served, and I think we ought
to serve them well when we do and not
just appropriate money for some State
to start out, not knowing exactly what
the regulations are. It is easy for a State
and for us to know about the handi-
capped. )3ut when we get into this field
that I am talking about, I just do not
know how much money we need, or how
far we sl.ould go. We shall find that out.
In the meantime, with this $78 million
over the budget, and three times what
the States got last year, I think we moved
pretty fast and were very conscious of
the situa',ion.
Mr. BEALL. Mr. President, as the Sen-
ate considers appropriations under the
special supplemental measure, H.R.
16900, I would like to express my deep
concern for the provisions in. this bill
dealing with the education of the handi??
capped children.
As we know, the House Appropriations
Committee made something less than a
wholehearted response to this new en??
titlement for handicapped children. The
House measure contains only $85 million
in actual funding to carry out provisions
of the Mathias amendment contained
under ESEA, title VI-B of the Education
Amendments of 1974 (Public Law 93--
380) which I cosponsored and strongly
supporter. As my colleagues will recall,
In passing this measure, entitlement at
full appropriations would mean approxi-
mately $660 million for the remainder of
fiscal 1975. The Senate Appropriations
Committee has recommended an actual
appropriations of $125 million for fiscal
1975. Though this figure does represent a
respectable increase over prior appro-
priations, it is exceedingly modest when
compared to the entitlement figure of
$660 million, and certainly falls far short
when compared to the actual need na-
tionwide. Therefore, I commend my dis-
tinguished colleague, Senator STAFFORD,
for his efforts to provide for realistic
funding, and join with him in cosponsor-
ing his amendment to increase the ap-
propriations by another $25 million, for
a total of $150 million.
My own, State of Maryland is illustra-
tive of the fact that there are a great
many handicapped children who are not
receiving an appropriate education. Data
collected for the 197:1-72 school year by
the Maryland Department of Education
indicates- that 57,380 handicapped chil-
dren, out of a total of 123,639 children
were not receiving a public education de-
signed to meet their needs. Projections
made by the department, for the 1972-73
school year, predicted that the total
number to be served would be little dif-
ferent than the 1971-72 school year level
of service. As emphasized in a letter
from the Council for Exceptional Chil-
dren, which I have received, the situa-
tion of our State, as in many States
throughout the Nation, is made more
critical as a result of a decision in a
class action right to education lawsuit,
Maryland Association for Retarded
Children against State of Maryland
handed down last May, in which the
court proclaimed that all children have
the rightto-an education which must be
provided by September 1975. This de-
cision set aside the compliance date of
1979 originally mandated by the law.
In the face of legal requirements to
meet the educational needs of service to
all handicapped children, it is clear that
past funding levels have fallen far short
of meeting program goals.
As Senator MATHIAS pointed out dur-
ing his remarks before the Senate on
May 20:
It -rTould be unfair and untrue to contend
that our State and local education. programs
are neglecting handicapped children. During
the school year 1972-73, for instance, State
and local expenditures for education of the
handicapped amounted to an estimated $2.4
billion. During that same period, the Federal
share--which includes funds spent under
the Education of Handicapped Act, ESEA
title I and III, Headstart, vocational educa-
tion, the Higher Education Act. Federal
schools for the deaf, research and instruc-
tional support-reached $315 million or only
12 percent of the total annual special educa-
tion expenditures of $2.7 billion.
Keeping in mind that this 12-percent
figure includes moneys spent for re-
search, teacher training, and special
projects, not just classroom services, the
insufficiency of these funds is of even
greater concern when we consider the
fact that upon closer examination, the
1972--73 expenditures for Federal special
education represented only 5 percent of
the total Federal education budget.
Incumbent upon us in meeting the
goals projected, as we passed the author-

November 20,_1974 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -SENATE
The PRESIDING OFFICER. All time
having been yielded back, the question
is on agreeing to the amendment (put-
ting the question).
The amendment was agreed to.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Sen-
ator from Washington.
Mr. MAGNUSON. Mr. President, at the
risk of some raised eyebrows here, I send
to the desk an amendment to add
$480,000 to the bill.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
amendment will be stated.
The assistant legislative clerk read as
follows :
On page 5, line 18, after the words "Salaries
and Expenses" insert the following:
"$6,080,000, including".
Mr. MAGNUSON. My amendment is
designed to solve a serious problem which
Is frustrating the rights of widows and
Injured Federal workers in receiving the
benefits to which they are entitled under
Federal law. We did not take action to
correct this unconscionable. situation
during hearings on the appropriation,
because it was just during the recess that
the problem was brought to my attention.
The office of workers compensation pro-
grams of the Employment Standards
Administration in the Department of
Labor currently has a national backlog
of 48,000 unresolved claims for compen-
sation from injured Federal workers.
This is the highest it has been since the
Inception of the program in 1916. While
In my own State, I learned that the
Seattle district office alone has a back-
log of over 2,000 unresolved claims.
Seattle and the other 11 regional offices
are falling further and further behind.
At present, it is not uncommon for a
compensation claim to take literally
years to be resolved, leaving crippled
Federal workers and their families with-
out any income whatsoever in the in-
terim. My amendment will `increase the
budget of the office by $480,000. This
money will add 74 positions nationally on
a temporary basis, provide for overtime
for existing employees and additional
technical assistance to the district offices.
I have been assured that if this amend-
ment is adopted, the backlog can be re-
duced in the next 6 months to 18,000
cases, the level of the backlog in 1971
and the lowest in the past 10 years. At
the close of the fiscal year, the admin-
istration expects other longer range im-
provements in management will begin to
take effect to keep the backlog low and
eventually eliminate it.
I urge favorable consideration of this
amendment on behalf of the tens of
thousands of injured Federal workers
and their families who are now strug-
gling with this intolerable situation.
Mr. McCLELLAN. Is that $480,000 or
480,000 new employees we are talking
about?
Mr. MAGNUSON. No, we are talking
about 74 temporary employees.
If the Senator from New Hampshire
will accept my amendment, it is an emer-
gency matter, and the administration
expects some longrange improvements
to take care of this backlog, but the
claims are legal, they are there.
With the apparent approval of the
Senate, I yield back the remainder of my
time.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. All time
having been yielded back, the question
is on agreeing to the amendment.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. HARRY F. BYRD, JR. There are
several reasons I would like to vote for
the supplemental appropriations bill,
H.R. 16900.
The most important reason I would
like to vote for it is that it contains funds
for Federal aid to impacted areas. I
have supported this program for 9
years-and I support it now.
It is a just program because the Fed-
eral Government, I feel, has an obliga-
tion to those localities in which the cost
of local government has been increased,,
or the revenues from local property
taxes decreased, as a result of Federal
Government action or facilities.
So I support the impacted aid program.
But it represents only 7 percent of the
total amount in this legislation.
I support other items in the supple-
mental. But I cannot support the- total
figure.
The total supplemental appropria-
tion bill, including many different pro-
gramg and agencies, is $8.7 billion.
As much as I favor many of the items
In the bill, particularly the funding of
Federal aid to impacted areas, I feel
that] in this time of high inflation and
runaway Federal spending, I cannot
vote for the huge total which this bill
represents. The funding level is too high.
Mr. McCLELLAN. Third reading..
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill
is open to further amendment. If there
be no further amendment to be pro-
posed, the question is on the engrossment
of the amendments and the third read-
ing of the bill.
The amendments were ordered to be
engrossed and the bill to be read a third
time.
Mr. McCLELLAN. Mr. President, I ask
for the yeas andnays.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a
sufficient second?
The yeas and the nays were ordered.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. All time
having been yielded back, the question
is, Shall the bill pass. The yeas and the
nays have been ordered, and the clerk
will call the roll.
The legislative clerk called the roll.
Mr. ROBERT C. BYRD. I announce
that the Senator from Alabama (Mr.
ALLEN), the Senator from Idaho (Mr.
CHURCH), the Senator from Missouri
(Mr. EAGLETON), the Senator from Ar-
kansas (Mr. FULBRIGHT), the Senator
from Colorado (Mr. HASKELL), the Sena-

Virginia (Mr. RANDOLPH), the Senator
from Alabama (Mr. SPARKMAN), and the

I further announce that, if present and
voting, the Senator from Colorado (Mr.
HASKELL), the Senator from Minnesota
(Mr. HUMPHREY), and the Senator from
West Virginia (Mr. RANDOLPH) would
each vote "yea."
Mr. GRIFFIN. I announce that the

I also announce that the Senator from
