The below was the law that created the "Department of Education", which was signed into law by President Jimmy Carter in 1979.
S.210 - An act to establish a Department of Education, and for other purposes.
(the functions associated with "education" previous to that law, were originally under "HEW" - the Department of "Health, Education, and Welfare" )
When I had started at my HHS agency in the mid '80s, there was still a lot of stuff (forms, letterheads, guidance documents, etc.) around that referenced the old "HEW".
