The administration's fiscal year 1993 budget proposes a 76 percent cut in Department of Education library programs. The only program remaining is $35 million for the Library Services and Construction Act Title I, adult literacy activities. The same approach has been taken to the Higher Education Act, where all library programs receive zero funding, and the library fellowship program has been consolidated with other graduate fellowship programs. This follows last year's proposals, and Congress may act to restore funds.
