To remedy the confusion, arbitrariness, and rigidity of the present system, the new Manpower Training Act would basically do three things.
--It would pull together the jumble of programs that presently exist, and equalize standards of eligibility.
--It would provide flexible funding-so that Federal money would follow the demands of labor and industry, and flow into those programs that people most want and most need.
--It would decentralize administration, gradually moving it away from the Washington bureaucracy and turning it over to States and localities.
