               Human Resources Division

               July 24, 1992

               The Honorable Edward M. Kennedy, Chairman
               Committee on Labor and Human Resources
               United States Senate

               Dear Mr. Chairman:                                      147182

               The enclosed materials were prepared at the Committee's request and
               summarize information on the federally supported employment and training
               assistance available to out of school youth or adults not enrolled in
               advanced degree programs. The material includes a chart showing the
               executive branch agencies responsible for employment and training
               programs (enclosure 1), briefing charts summarizing the information we
               compiled (enclosure 2), a table listing the number of employment and
               training programs in each federal agency and their fiscal year 1990 and
               1991 funding (enclosure 3), and detailed listings of the programs with
               their fiscal year 1990 and 1991 funding (enclosure 4). This information
               was compiled from the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, fiscal year
               1990 and 1991 federal budgets, agency documents, and discussions with
               agency officials.

               We found 125 federal programs that provide various forms of employment
               and training assistance to adults and out of school youth with FY 1991
               appropriations of $16.3 billion. Some programs, such as the dislocated
               worker assistance program operated as title III of the Job Training
               Partnership Act, are counted as 3 programs--one with direct formula
               funding to local programs, another providing funds at the governors'
               discretion and a third providing funds at the discretion of the Secretary of
               Labor. Each is seen from the local level as an independent source of
               funding for dislocated worker assistance.

               These programs were administered by 14 federal departments or
               independent agencies. However, most of the programs and the majority of
               the funding were for programs administered by either the Department of
               Education (49 programs with $8.1 billion in funding) or the Department of
               Labor (30 programs with $5.7 billion in funding). While four of the
               programs had funding of over $1 billion each, many programs (72) had
               funding of less than $50 million.
