SUMMARY: Direct Loan List of Publication

Dear Colleague:

For those of you who like to stay current with all of the
events and happenings of the Direct Loan Program, or
for those who don't know much about the current state of
the program and would like to learn more, we have put
together a current reading list of articles, reports and
other print materials about the program. The items
included on this list touch on a variety of issues
associated with the program and range in type from short
articles that appeared in major newspapers, to formal
studies conducted by independent program evaluators.
The list was developed with complete objectivity in mind
and contains material that support, as well as that
which is highly critical, of the program. A copy of the list
is attached.

We thought these materials may be especially useful for
those of you preparing presentations for national, state
and local student aid conferences, as well as those of you
who are researching the program to make a participation
decision. As you can see from the list, a lot has
happened in the last six months.

To obtain a copy of any of the listed materials, or if you
have questions about the program, contact a direct loan
account manager in the regional office that serves your
school. The telephone numbers for direct loan account
managers are provided below.
