This provision prohibits use of any funds contained in this 1: to pay the salaries of any Federal employee who is convicted of being involve: it a riot or similar activity. The provision is deleted since it, in effect, duplicates a recently enacted provision of permanent law. This language was enacte: by title V of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (Public Low 90-351). Thus, it is unnecessary to repeat the provision in appropriation tilis, Sec. (408). This provision prohibits use of any of the funds contained in this Act to finance interdepartmental boards, commissions, councils, comittees or similar groups which do not have prior and specific Congressional approval of such method of support. This provision is deleted since a general provision of the "Public Works for Water and Power Resources Development and Atomic Energy Commission Appropriation Act, 1969" (Section 510, Public Law 90-479) which applied this prohibition to all Acts has been included in the President's Budget for FY 1970 (App., p. 811). Since that language applies to all appropriot." bills, it is unnecessary to include identical language in each separat" bill. Sec. (409). This provision prohibits use of funds to force busins" students, abolishment of any school, or forcing any student attending * elementary or secondary school to attend a particular school against “ ” of his or her parents or parent in order to overcome racial imbalance. Thio provision is deleted because it adds nothing to existing law: logo in the civil Rights act of 1964, the Elementary and Secondary Act of 19°, and the Demonstration cities Act of 1966 prohibits Federal agencies fro requiring racial balance. Sec. (410).

This provision prohibits the use of any funds contained in this Act to provide loans or grants to any applicants involved in unlawful *ctivities at institutions of higher education. This language is deleted since, insofar as programs administered by the Office of Education are concerned, the subject matter of the provision is covered by section 504 of the Higher Education Amendments of 1968. Sec. 1412]. This provision in effect imposes a disqualification for **istance (in the form of a loan, guaranty of a loan, or grant), provided from funds appropriated by this Act, upon any person who within 5 years before applying * for such aid received aid (in any such form) from funds appropriated to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and used the proceeds for a purpose other than that for which the loan or grant was made. In the student loan insurance program, which is the program that we understand gave rise to this Provision and is the only student aid program in which a complaint as to the application of the proceeds of a loan has to our knowledge ever been received, a needs test is not required or intended under the law. We do by regulation require, in the case of any student with respect to whose insured student loan an interest subsidy is payable, that he give assurance that the proceeds will be *pplied to his education; no further safeguard is necessary for such loans. In * case of other insured student loans, any misrepresentation as to the purpose of applying for the loan would, of course, be fraud, for which existing remedies would suffice. In the case of equal opportunity grants and NDEA student loans, * requirements as to the need for the loan to pursue an education, and the *View of the student's resources in that connection, give sufficient assurance *t the student aid is needed and will not be misapplied. It is thus felt that 2 section 412 is unnecessary. GENERAL PROVISIONS DELETION of SECTIONs 407,408, AND 409 jor MAGNUsoN (presiding). The subcommittee will come to OrCier.
