PART A—VOCATIONAL EDUCATION 
DECLARATION OF PURPOSE 
SECTION 1. It is the purpose of this part to authorize Federal grants 
to States to assist them to maintain, extend, and improve existing pro-
grams of vocational education, to develop new programs of vocational 
education, and to provide part-time employment for youths who need 
the earnings from such employment to continue their vocational train-
ing on a full-time basis, so that persons of all ages in all communities 
of the State—those in high school, those who have completed or dis-
continued their formal education and are preparing to enter the labor 
market, those who have already entered the labor market but need to 
uf)grade their skills or learn new ones, and those with special educa-
tional handicaps—will have ready access to vocational training or 
retraining which is of high quality, which is realistic in the light of 
actual or anticipated opportunities for gainful employment, and which 
is suited to their needs, interests, and ability to benefit from such 
training.

(b) The amount of any State's allotment under subsection (a) for 
any fiscal year which is less than $10,000 shall be increased to that 
amount, the total of the increases thereby required being derived bj-
proportionately reducing the allotments to each of the remaining 
States under such subsection, but with such adjustments as may be 
necessary to prevent the allotment of any of such remaining States 
from being thereby reduced to less than that amount. 
(c) The amount of any State's allotment under subsection (a) for 
any fiscal year which the Commissioner determines will not be required 
for such fiscal year for carrying out the State's plan approved under 
section 5 shall be available for reallotment from time to time, on such 
dates during such year as the Commissioner may fix, to other States 
in proportion to the original allotments to such States under such 
subsection for such year, but with such proportionate amount for any

the Commissioner estimates such State needs and will be able to use 
under the approved plan of such State for such year and the total 
of such reductions shall be similarly reallotted among the States 
not suffering such a reduction. 
Any amount reallotted to a State

enactment of this part. Allotment ratios shall be computed on the 
basis of the average of the per capita incomes for a State and for all 
the States (exclusive of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the 
Virgin Islands) for the three most recent consecutive fiscal years 
for which satisfactory data is available from the Department of 
Commerce. 
(3) The term "per capita income" for a State or for all the States 
(exclusive of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the Virgin 
Islands) for any fiscal year, means the total personal income for such 
State, and for all such States, respectively, in the calendar year ending 
in such fiscal year, divided by the population of such State, and of all 
such States, respectively, in such fiscal year.
