The letter from Robert B. Kamm to Congressman James R. Jones expresses objections to regulations by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare regarding requirements for participation in the Guaranteed Student Loan Program. Kamm believes the regulations go beyond the intent of the law and urges the Committee to review and take corrective legislative action. Jones responds, stating that the regulations went into effect and the House Committee on Education and Labor did not take action as there was no justification to support objections. However, the Subcommittee on Higher Education will review the Higher Education Act before it expires in 1976, including the authority of HEW to set requirements for federal assistance programs. Oklahoma State University supports fair refund policies, career counseling, and selective admission criteria but objects to mandated regulations. They express concern about the consequences of choosing not to participate in the GSL Program and hope that Jones will vote to reject the regulations.
