I think it is fair for us to know what the tentative agreement on the Labor-HHS budget, for this year in this Congress today, is in the United States of America. It is not a cut, but it is a $562 million increase over President Clinton's budget. And that is a fact. It is not a cut, but it is a $1 billion increase in special education over the President's recommendation. And amazingly, it is a $3.1 billion title VI improvement offering the opportunity for flexibility for school construction at the local level. We would never know in a million years, by listening to the other side, that everything priority-wise that they debated for local schools to have the opportunity to do within good fiscal sound policy exists.
