                            BEFORE THE

               INSTITUTIONAL AID UNDER TITLE III OF
                 THE HIGHER EDUCATION ACT OF 1965


     Mr. Chairman  and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We are pleased  to be here today to discuss title III of the

Higher Education  Act of 1965, as amended.  Title III is the

largest source of direct  federal aid to institutions of higher

education, providing  $141.2 million during fiscal year 1985.

changes in program design  and administration.  The Congress

subsequently made  substantive changes to the program in 1980.

Today, we will discuss  these changes in relation to the problems

deliberations.

     Our testimony  is therefore based on a very limited update

of our prior work on  the title III program, involving a review




                                                        9 I 111111175111 1
