BUDGET BATTLE\n\nIn an effort to keep their budget request within bargaining distance of Pres-ident Reagan's,House and Senate conferees chipped away at higher educationprogr ams Wednesday,leaving dents in most progr ams.  \nConferees spent eight hours reconciling differing fiscal 1986 appropriationsmeasures passed by the House and Senate last month(HED,Oct.7).  \nThe Education Department's $18.4 billion slice of the Education,Labor and75Health and Human Services appropriations measure agreed to in conference lateWednesday night is lower than ED's 1985 budget of $19.1 billion.But it topsby $3.1 billion President Reagan's fiscal 1986 budget request.  \nWhile most elementary and secondary education programs were frozen at 1985levels and some increased slightly,higher education took the brunt of thebudget blows inflicted by both the House and Senate。  \nThe Guar anteed Student Loan(GSL)program,now funded at nearly $3.8 billion,is slated to lose $498 million in fiscal 1986,while the Pell Gr ant programnearly survived the session without any cuts.  \nPell Gr ants NickedOn the first go-around,the Senate complied with theHouse plan to freeze Pell Grants at their fiscal $3.6 billion level.But inthe conference's final moments,the House agreed to slice $24 million from theprogram to help narrow to a manageable margin the $200 million gap between itsbudget and the president's request.  \nThe House also accepted a Senate amendment that would give ED the authority todistribute Supplemental Grants,College Work-Study grants and National DirectStudent Loans \"in the same ratio as distributed in 1981.\"Nearly $2.5 millionwas cut from the National Direct Student Loan program。  \nWhile higher education special projects under the TRIO progr am gained $1.4 mi1-lion over its fiscal 1985 level of $175 million,grants for academic facilitieswere slashed by $18 million to $10 million,and authorized construction proj-ects,now funded at $22 million,were reduced to $6 million.  \nThe Senate abided by a House request to eliminate the Robert C.Byrd HonorsScholarships,while the House honored the Senate's wish to fund the new Car1 D.Perkins Scholarship program at $10 million.  \nThe $5 million Federal Merit Scholarship program recommended by the Senate wasdropped.(more)  \n    November 22,1985  \n# HIGHER EDUCATION TAKES BRUNT OF ED CUTS(Cont.)\n\nAs the conference drew to an end,conferees also agreed to a $20 millionincrease in college housing loans,and an additional $6 mill1on each for_theNational Technicai Institute for the Deaf,Gallaudet College and Howard Uni-versity.  \nSusan Frost,executive director of the Committee on Education Funding,saidhigher education could have fared far worse.  \n\"There was only $25 million in conference that we cared one way or anotherabout,\"she said.\"The cuts were important,but they were on a small scalefrom where we were.\"  \nFloor action on the appropriations measure,H.R。3424,is not expected to takeplace until after Congress's Thanksgiving recess.President Reagan also mustsign the measure into law.--Debor ah L.Gold  \nSENATE JOINS HOUSE IN OVERRIDING REAGAN VETO OF HEALTH RESEARCH BILL  \nFollowing the House's lead,the Senate Wednesday overrode President Reagan'sveto of a measure extending authorization for National Institutes of Healthresearch centers.  \nEasily garnering the necessary two-thirds majority,the Senate voted 89-7 tooverride Reagan's veto of H.R。2409,the Health Research Extension Act of 1985.  \nThe measure will provide a three-year reauthorization of several research in-stitutes,including the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and KidneyDiseases,the National Cancer Institute and the National Heart,Lung and BloodInstitute.  \nThe House Nov.12 voted 380-32 for authorization,following Reagan's veto ofthe legislation Nov.8.Last ","cbCaiimdXW4RHaos","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiimdXW4RHaos","pdf",1229828,"English","# Higher Education Takes Brunt
