Budget plan seeks record HEW spending boost for schools
President Carter asks Congress for a 16.7 billion increase in HEW spending, signaling the largest education funding surge in over a decade and a record 181.3 billion outlay for the department. He touts expanded programs in sex education, contraception, and Medicaid for eligible pregnant women, plus a 1.3 billion education budget rise aimed at helping children and post secondary students. The plan also buffers discretionary HEW funds, with debates over a proposed 250 tax credit for college parents and considerations of income-based aid, while critics fear costs if savings fail to materialize. Secretary Calcagno notes uncertainty on distribution methods and cautions the credit may not be tax-related.
