Outlook for new federal education department gains support
Washington officials report supporters of President Carter’s plan to create a separate federal education department claim they have House votes. Over 200 amendments from opponents could delay action after Senate passage 72 to 21. The bill would transfer 150 programs from 40 agencies under HEW to a single Cabinet post to oversee primary and secondary education. Proponents say it streamlines and saves money, while critics fear increased bureaucracy and local schooling control loss. Hard White House lobbying boosts prospects as Democrats weigh backing for the president.
