Kennedy urges renewal of National Defense Education Act
President Kennedy asks Congress to make permanent key features of the 1958 National Defense Education Act, expand the program, and strengthen teaching and student access. He proposes annual funding, permanent federal student loans for 200000 needy students, and retention of a loyalty provision with reforms to loan applications. The act has $440 million already appropriated.
