> >On Friday May 12, the House Budget Committee, chaired by John R. Kasich
> >(R-OH), released a list of 284 programs, 3 Cabinet departments, 69
> >commissions, 13 agencies and more, proposed for termination, block grant or
> >privatization in their FY 1996 Resolution.  Among the programs proposed for
> >termination include all HEA-Title VI and Fulbright-Hays 102(b)(6) programs.
> >This is the first time these programs have appeared on any official list of
> >proposed cuts or terminations.
> >
> >This list of proposed terminations is NOT BINDING, rather illustrative of th
e
> >cuts the Budget Committee believes could be made to meet their proposed FY
> >1996 budget ceilings.  In the case of the HEA-Title VI and Fulbright-Hays
> >102(b)(6), the decision to cut or terminate these programs rests with the
> >House Committee on Appropriations, and specifically the Subcommittee on
> >Labor, HHS and Education Appropriations listed below.

e

> >Please note that most Representatives will be back in their home districts

> >Because the House budget resolution process will not be completed as early a
s

S
