The director himself has said he doesnt know whether the emails referenced in his letter are significant or not. Im confident, whatever they are, will not change the conclusion reached in july. Therefore, its imperative that the bureau exp

Department of education. Today, that agency houses nearly 5,000 employees, manages over 150 federal Education Programs, and has a discretionary budget of 70 billion.

So, what have we gotten for this federal large ess. Its red tape, bureaucracy and wasteful spending. The u. S.
