Benign neglect echoes in proposed Reagan education cuts
The Reagan plan to cut federal aid to elementary and secondary education by about 20 percent would merge 57 categorical programs into block grants of around 4.6 billion dollars. Education Secretary Terrel Bell says the money will be restricted to serving the original handicapped and Title I aims, while critics warn that removing rules risks neglecting the poor and disadvantaged students unless safeguards remain.

Buckley on Oregon and the 1981 Employment Stabilization Act
Buckley critiques Oregon's Employment Stabilization Act of 1981 and its broad employer duties. He cites requirements to announce closures a year ahead, compensate communities at 85 percent of lost revenue, cover relocation costs, and sustain benefits for a year. He contrasts with studies by Bluestone and Harrison and lampoons sweeping labor backed controls as retrograde.

Reasons To Trim Federal Pensions
Federal retirees receive two semiyearly cost-of-living raises since 1962, funded largely by taxpayers. Hollings argues these benefits exceed private plans, with issues including early retirement, disability generosity, and dual federal and Social Security checks, proposing annual rather than biannual increases to save billions and reduce subsidies.
