Jim Kolbe: “But perhaps the public does not know that in the conference that has…”

On the recordOctober 19, 2000

But perhaps the public does not know that in the conference that has been worked out on the Labor-HHS bill, there is every single dollar that the President has requested for classroom size reduction, $1.4 billion, and for new school construction, $1.3 billion. Every one of those dollars is in there. The difference, of course, is that in the conference report, it is in a block grant to the schools. Because as we know, in one school district, there may not be a problem with new school construction. It may be teacher development, and in another school district, there may not be a problem with class sizes, it may be a community where the population is shrinking. They may need to have new computers and renovation.
