The National Council on Quality in Education was established by P.L. 91-230, the 1969 amendments to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. It was an advisory council of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The Council consisted of fifteen members, appointed by the President with the confirmation of the Senate. The Council reviewed the programs established under the 1965 act and other federal educational programs, assessed the educational goals of the nation, and evaluated the progress of educational institutions toward meeting those goals.
The records consist of correspondence and memorandums. Primary correspondents include Charles W. Colson, George T. Bell, Joanne Gordon, Dan Kingsley, John Campbell, and Paul H. O'Neill. Topics include funding and staffing for the Council, grants to the states for the creation of educational advisory councils, the Administration's educational proposals, and appointments to the Council. Corresponding oversized attachments have been processed and integrated into the files.
The terms Executive and General are used before the code FG 318 generally to determine the source of the materials. Items designated Executive are communications among national, foreign, state and local governments and their agencies, Members of Congress, and other prominent people.
