July 19, 2002 Senate Proposes to Restore Funding For Even Start, Prison Literacy, and Job Training Programs Yesterday, the Senate Appropriations Committee voted in favor of its Fiscal Year 2003 Labor-Health and Human Services-Education Appropriations bill, including funding for adult education and family literacy programs. While the President's FY '03 proposal reduced funding for Even Start, Prison Literacy, and several job training programs, the Senate proposal restores funding for those programs. The Senate bill also restores over $500 million in proposed cuts to job training programs. The federal government has at least 48 training and employment programs, including workplace basic skills programs, administered by as many as ten different federal agencies - including the U.S. Departments of Labor and Education. Through his FY '03 budget proposal, the President proposed reducing the overall number of job training programs from 48 to 28. Specifically, the President proposed to reduce funding for adult job training by $50 million and youth training by $362 million. Meanwhile, the House Appropriations Committee is expected to take action on its FY '03 appropriations bill in early September. All three proposals - President, Senate, and House - will then be negotiated until Congress reaches a final agreement on FY '03 funding, which will likely occur by late fall 2002.
