 \n# HOUSE GIVES OVERWHELMING APPROVAL TO HEA REAUTHORIZATION\n\nHEA-  \nReauthorization  \n’85  \nRep.William Ford,D-Mich.,chairman of the postsecondary panel,said  \nFriday,December 6,1985  \nDemolishing an 11th-hour plan to further cut authorization levels,the Houselate Wednesday approved the Higher Education Amendments of 1985,H.R.3700,abill that would reauthorize federal education programs through fiscal 1991.  \nThe measure,which has received bipartisan support since the House Post-  \nsecondary Education Committee hearings began last spring,was approved 350-67.  \nIt would reauthorize the Higher Education Act of 1965,the measure that setsinto law virtually all federal funding for postsecondary education,including  \nstudent aid.It would reduce authorizationlimits for its programs from $11.9 billion infiscal 1986 to $10.5 billion in fiscal 1987.  \nThat $1.4 billion authorization cut was not goodenough for Rep.Steve Bartlett,R-Texas.Bartlett offered an amendment tofreeze authorization levels of all programs,except student aid,at currentappropriations levels in fiscal 1987.  \nBartlett's plan,the final amendment of some 30 amendments considered by theHouse during floor debate,would have resulted in an additional $310 millioncut in authorization levels.  Bartlett said the measure\"was not dissimilarfrom other freeze plans”the House has considered in areas outside ofeducation.  \n\"What the amendment does is reverse a decision made by the committee that Ithink was wrong,\"Bartlett said,restating his charge that H.R.3700 was the\"biggest budget buster\"the House had considered this session.  \nBartlett's plan garnered little supporton the House floor from either side of the aisle.Rep.William Good11ng,R-Pa.,said the amendment was\"misleading.\"H.R。3700is an authorization bill…not a spending bill,\"Goodling said.\"We won't save one penny with thisbill.We don't appropriate.We authorize.\"  \nRep.E。Thomas Coleman,R-Mo.,ranking minority member of the House Postsecon-dary Education Subcommittee,agreed with Goodling.He said Bartlett's billcomparing authorization limits to appropriations was akin to \"comparing applesand oranges.\"  \nBartlett's amendment would,among other things,freeze the authorization level(more)  \n# HOUSE GIVES OVERWHELMING APPROVAL TO HEA REAUTHORIZATION(Cont.)\n\nof the only higher education program for which the Reagan administration hadexpressed unabashed support:aid to historically black colleges.EducationSecretary William Bennett had sent a letter to Ford in basic support of theTitle III programs,along with several suggested changes.  The committee adopt-ed several other of those changes in its bill(HED,Sept.23).  \nUnlike most parts of the reauthorization proposal,the developing institutionalaid programs of Title III,which are targeted toward historically black col-leges and other institutions serving minorities,would receive an increase intheir authorization level in fiscal 1987.Under the House package,Title IIIauthorization would increase from $270 million to $323 million.  They receiveda $141 million appropriation in fiscal 1985.  \nDecember Blues?Bartlett's amendment was debated for more than an hourbefore being defeated,289-127.Just three Democrats voted for the measure,and,Republicans were split on it.After the vote,Bartlett blamed the amend-ment's failure on a combination of“end of the session blues,\"and broad gen-eral support for higher education.  \nYet,Bartlett said he is also a supporter of higher education.It was justthat the reauthorization plan went too far in this era of rising federal def-icits and ran contrary to the Reagan administration's wishes,he said,addingthat the bill includes \"a larger increase than the one planned for defense.\"  \nWhen the dust had settled following Wednesday night's final vote on the mea-sure,most major sections of the House Education and Labor Committee reauthor-ization plan remained intact.The committee bill went to the House floor withthe vocal support of the higher education comm","cbCaitr2EkwkI75a","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitr2EkwkI75a","pdf",1262309,"English","# HOUSE GIVES OVERWHELMING APPROVAL TO HEA REAUTHORIZATION\n## House approval vote and authorization limits\n## Bartlett amendment and floor debate\n## Title III funding changes and Pell/GSL details\n## Additional amendments and post-vote outlook","[{\"question\":\"What measure did the House approve regarding the HEA reauthorization?\",\"answer\":\"The House approved the Higher Education Amendments of 1985 (H.R. 3700), to reauthorize federal education programs through fiscal 1991.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the bill affect authorization limits and student aid?\",\"answer\":\"The bill would reduce program authorization levels from $11.9 billion (fiscal 1986) to $10.5 billion (fiscal 1987) while reauthorizing student aid under the Higher Education Act of 1965.\"},{\"question\":\"What happened to Bartlett’s proposal on freezing authorization levels?\",\"answer\":\"Bartlett’s amendment to freeze authorization levels for most programs was debated and ultimately defeated 289-127.\"}]","HOUSE GIVES OVERWHELMING APPROVAL TO HEA REAUTHORIZATION - Rep.William Ford and the Higher Education Amendments of 1985 | PDF",1789971556,13]
