Excerpt from Oversight Hearing Regarding the Head Start Program: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Human Resources of the Committee on Education and Labor, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session Members present: Representatives Martinez, Scott, and Owens. Staff present: Lester H. Sweeting, staff director/ counsel; Terry Deshler, legislative analyst; and Alan Lopatin, general counsel. Chairman martinez. Let me begin by saying good morning. We are the Subcommittee of Human Resources of the House Education and Labor Committee, and today we are holding the first in a series of hearings to look into the Head Start program. These hear ings are particularly important as Congress begins to deal with the issues arising from the need to reauthorize this program during this Congress. Although the current authorization of the Head Start Act does not expire until September 30 of 1994, the visibility and importance of this program is such that we believe we need to fully investigate all aspects of the system so that we can ensure that necessary changes to ensure the quality of all Head Start programs at the local level are addressed in the reauthorization process. President Clinton has called for substantially increased funding for Head Start. He and I and members of the committee agree that this is an investment in a precious resource, our young people. Education goal number one says that by the year 2000 all chil dren Will reach school ready and able to learn. Head Start is one way of ensuring that that goal is met. In its 28-year history, Head Start has shown that through early intervention in the lives of youngsters coupled with the right range of attendant services in cluded in the Head Start program, that we can make a real differ ence to the lives of those youngsters and their families.
