$70.9 million for the current
year, based on preliminary al-
lotments announced April 3

Education. The 1992-93 pro-
gram year begins July 1.
Congress appropriated
nearly $1.1 billion nationwide
for vocational education, with
Texas ranking second to Cali-
fornia's $109.8 million.
Alaska received the smallest
allotment at $4.5 million. The
USDE allocates funds among
the states based on the dis-
persement of the nation'spopulation by certain age groups.
Ten million in supplemental
funds was also appropriated by
Congress for upgrading facilities
and equipment; however, the in-
formation necessary for the
USDE to calculate a state's share
was not yet available.
The federal funds, to be ex-
pended in accordance with pro-
visions of the CarlD. Perkins Vo-
cational and Applied Technol-
ogy Education Act of 1990, rep-
resent less than 10 percent of
