The major government relations activities which APGA has concentrated on during the past six months are in the following areas: (1) GRC and Its Network: Major efforts have been made to strengthen the national government relations communications network in all 50 states. Government Liaison Workers (GLW) and legislative committees are being formed in each state. Resource materials and position papers to assist GLWs have been developed and disseminated, (2) Testimony: APGA has testified in House and SEnate on Career Guidance and Counseling Act; in House and Senate on Education Appropriations and in the House on National Home Health Care and Higher Education, (3) Veto Override: The Committee for Full Funding of Education Programs achieved a veto override on FY 1976 appropriations for education. P.L. 94-94 became a reality because of this effort, (4) Inter-Association Activity: APGA participation with CFF on appropriation activity; co-sponsored a National Conference with American Vocational Association; actively working with AERA, National Manpower Institute and U.S. Office of Education on other professional activities, and (5) Career Guidance and Counseling Act: Both H.R. 3270 and S.940 were introduced in Congress.
