On the recordMarch 22, 1994
So, to emphasize what the gentleman is saying here, Madam Chairman, the Pyler versus Doe Supreme Court decision said States are not mandated if the Federal Government sets a policy, and in this amendment, the one that the gentleman had yesterday on striking the provisions in dealing with bilingual education and in many of his amendments, they have been shown to be setting the policy by the Federal Government in the gentleman's amendment. So that precludes the idea that there is any Federal mandates, so I think my colleagues should realize this whole argument on the basis of this is that all Federal mandates on the States is erroneous if we in Congress set the policy. Is that not true?
