Gunn McKay GHouse of Representatives Dear Mr. McKay: In accordance with your March 26, 1973, request and subsequent discussions with your office, we reviewed certain activities of the Kentucky Equine Education Programl (KEEP), which was funded jointly by the Departments of Labor and Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) under title II of the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962 (MDTA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 2581).

KEEP training classes began on March 12, 1973, and were scheduled to run through March 1, 1974. Shortly before the scheduled completion date, however, KEEP officials applied for and were granted a 4-month extension through June 30, 1974. The total estimated cost of the project, including the extension, was $136,481. .. ... MW -75-39
