             DEBT COLLECTION AT THE DEPARTMENT

                          OF EDUCATION





     Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, thank you for

the opportunity to appear before you to discuss debt collection

at the Department of Education.

     Debts owed the Government are enormous and growing each

year, with billions of dollars delinquent.  Federal agencies

reported that, at the start of fiscal 1982, receivables due from

U.S. citizens and organizations exceeded $180 billion, over $33

billion of which was delinquent.  By the end of fiscal 1982,

these amounts had further increased to approximately $200 bil-

lion and $38 billion, respectively, with nontax delinquencies

totaling about $14 billion.
