Waaningson, D.C. (CPS>—The
Reagu administration, which has tried to
cut federal spending on schools and colleges every year since 1982, apparently is
going to ask Congress to spend more on
education this year, the Associated Press,
quoting monymous sources, reported.
In proposing a budget to Congress Laic
in January or early February, the administration reportedly Is going to ask for $21
billion for federal education programs
covering everything from preschool programs to college student aid.
By contrast, tbe administration asked
for $14 billion Cor federal education programs—which are administered by the US
Dept of Education—last year.
The Associated Press also reported Jan.
8 that me administration plans to ask
Congress to approve a program that gives
parents a tax break for buying US savings
bonds to pay for their chUdrens' college
Congress, of course, must approve the
budget for tbe 1988 fiscal year just Last
month, when, among other things, they
approved spending $20.1 billion on
federal education programs.
If the report proves true, this will be
the first rime the administration has
proposed higher education spending. In
prior years, it has asked Congress to cut
the Education Department's budget by as
much as 33 percenL
In June 1987 Education Sec. William
Bennett hinted the administration was "revising our strategy" in education spending, suggesting it might ask for increases
this year.

Secretary Beverly Travis, who works in the Reentry
