SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) one of our Nation's greatest economic resources is our 
        workers, who are the most productive in the world;
            (2) due to emerging technologies in the workplace, global 
        competition, the restructuring of work organizations, the 
        emergence of quality managing, the loss of many low-skilled 
        jobs, and more frequent job and career shifts, American workers 
        will need to enhance their skills now and on a continuing and 
        lifelong basis;
            (3) because our education and training programs have been 
        developed independently over many years, there is no national 
        strategy for a coherent, well-coordinated workforce preparation 
        and development system;
            (4) reports from the General Accounting Office recently 
        identified 154 different Federal programs, totaling 
        $24,000,000,000 administered by 14 different Federal agencies, 
        which offer some form of education, job training or employment 
        assistance to out-of-school youths and adults;
            (5) these General Accounting Office reports legitimately 
        point to the many problems of duplication and fragmentation 
        that exist within the varied Federal workforce preparation and 
        development programs;
            (6) a major goal of any reform of the Federal workforce 
        preparation and development system must be to eliminate 
        unnecessary duplication and fragmentation in workforce 
        preparation and development programs, to ensure the highest 
        quality of services to the largest number of individuals;
            (7) the focus of reform efforts should be to streamline 
        workforce preparation and development programs at the Federal 
        level and provide flexibility needed by States and local 
        communities to establish and carry out effective and cohesive 
        programs;
            (8) while a major goal of this reform must be to further 
        consolidate similar programs, simply blocking these programs 
        together with no direction for reform will not necessarily 
        ensure a better system;
            (9) most of the pieces needed to develop a coherent 
        workforce preparation and development system exist at the 
        Federal, State, and local levels, and therefore massive new 
        programs are not necessary;
            (10) a strategic planning process is needed at all levels 
        of government to rationalize the use of resources from numerous 
        Federal education and training programs to ensure that each 
        program contributes to a well-designed, high performance 
        workforce preparation and development system;
            (11) many States and communities are experimenting with and 
        designing workforce preparation and development systems 
        responsive to their needs, and Federal efforts must enhance and 
        encourage their efforts, and not prescribe a single national 
        solution;
            (12) the private sector must be viewed as a critical 
        partner in the workforce preparation and development system; 
        and
            (13) the public, which funds and uses workforce preparation 
        and development programs, should hold the system accountable to 
        high standards of performance.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to eliminate duplication and fragmentation in Federal 
        education, job training, and employment programs that serve 
        out-of-school youths and adults, through the consolidation of 
        Federal workforce preparation and development programs, thus 
        resulting in administrative savings, and providing States and 
        local communities with streamlined and more flexible funding 
        for the purpose of better assisting such youths and adults;
            (2) to establish a framework at the Federal, State, and 
        local levels to develop a strategic planning process and a 
        coordinated, coherent administrative structure for programs 
        that prepare youths and adults for the workplace;
            (3) to encourage States and local communities to develop 
        strategic, collaborative leadership in the planning and 
        administration of Federal workforce preparation and development 
        programs to ensure that such programs are responsive to the 
        needs of individuals desiring such services, workers, the 
        community, and business and industry, as well as resulting in 
        the elimination of fragmentation and duplication between 
        workforce preparation and development programs;
            (4) to provide States and communities increased flexibility 
        in the design of a comprehensive workforce preparation and 
        development system by waiving legislated and regulatory 
        mandates of individual workforce preparation and development 
        programs, thereby allowing State and local innovation and 
        experimentation;
            (5) to encourage communities to establish community job 
        resource centers to serve as easily accessible and recognized 
        single points of entry into the local workforce preparation and 
        development system where youths and adults may receive 
        information and assistance about the local labor market and 
        related career opportunities, and assistance in entering the 
        appropriate workforce preparation and development program;
            (6) to expand and improve the quality and efficiency of 
        services provided under workforce preparation and development 
        programs, particularly for individuals eligible for services 
        under such programs who have significant barriers to 
        employment;
            (7) to hold workforce preparation and development programs 
        accountable for providing high quality services; and
            (8) to improve access to information regarding career 
        opportunities, eligibility for services, program availability, 
        and program performance through expansion of State and local 
        management information systems and improved and compatible data 
        collection.

1721) is amended to read as follows:

    ``Part C--Veterans' Employment and Training Block Grant Program

``SEC. 441. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            ``(1) programs to serve our Nation's veterans are 
        fragmented at the Federal level to a degree which makes it 
        confusing for veterans to understand what services are 
        available and which services they are eligible for; and
            ``(2) the additional administrative cost for running this 
        fragmented and uncoordinated system takes funds directly away 
        from the veterans who need this assistance the most.
    ``(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this part are--
            ``(1) to streamline the current system of programs that 
        serve our Nation's veterans while also ensuring that States and 
        local areas receive the appropriate level of funding necessary 
        to assist the number of veterans, including disabled and 
        homeless veterans, which reside within each State;
            ``(2) to provide flexibility to States and local 
        communities to use their share of funds in ways which to best 
        serve veterans and for the purpose of targeting these funds 
        more effectively to those veterans most in need through 
        utilization of new and existing structures such as one-stop 
        centers to provide these services; and
            ``(3) to improve such services and to provide more veterans 
        with such services.

        technical assistance.--The Secretary of Labor shall develop and 
        implement a system for measuring State progress, providing 
        technical assistance to enable States to meet performance 
        standards, and modifying the Federal matching rate to reflect 
        the relative effectiveness of the various States in carrying 
        out the program under part F of title IV of the Social Security 
        Act.
