Officials from the Departments of Labor and Health Education and Welfare and the Office of Economic Opportunity met in Senator Tydings Baltimore office to discuss the abrupt termination of federal funding for the Jeanne Bussard Workshop. The workshop had previously received about $80 000 through a two year contract to train handicapped persons for entry into the labor market. The contract expired in March amid changed guidelines requiring higher wages. Respondents hope federal funds will be restored. state vocational rehabilitation funds and shop income sustain operations.
