C. W. Bill Young: “I just have the feeling and I am really convinced that this would be a one-sided partnership with the Federal Government…”

“I just have the feeling and I am really convinced that this would be a one-sided partnership with the Federal Government being by far the most senior partner. Now, that really disturbs me, and the gentleman from California (Mr. Cunningham) just made the case that the Department of Education could not account for $100 million worth of student loans last year and could not audit their accounts. Now, I do not think I want that educational department running the school districts in Pinellas County, Florida, where I have the privilege of representing the teachers and the students and the parents. But we will soon vote on this issue, and we are going to decide whether or not we want the Federal Government and Federal aid with all kinds of strings on it to our local systems. But I want to make this as a closing argument. We believe strongly in education, and the money that we have already agreed to provide is in excess of what the President requested.”
