I join in the accolades by the Senator from Massachusetts and say that this amendment is an excellent amendment. Even in little old Vermont, we have schools with 20, 22 students who have English as their second language. There have been problems that we never imagined we would have. We believe this bill-- all over this Nation--will be very helpful. As far as I am concerned, we can accept the amendment to ensure its passage.
