Lateefah Simon: “this is an amendment that restores the National Security Education Act. This was introduced by our former colleague…”

On the recordMarch 8, 1995
this is an amendment that restores the National Security Education Act. This was introduced by our former colleague, Senator David Boren, and was cosponsored by Senators Nunn and Warner. It was signed into law by President Bush. Before he leaves, I say to my colleague, the former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, because I know of his interest in this field, this is our former colleague, David Boren's bill. It sets up studies in foreign languages, in these isolated foreign languages where we have very little knowledge, and it is extremely important. I just mention it to Senator Pell because I know of his interest in this area.
