Cardiss Collins said "I believe when the gentleman said the Federal Government is asking certain questions, the Federal Government is not asking the kinds of questions that the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Souder] read, and also that we have copies of from the full committee hearing. The Federal Government is not asking those kinds of questions. What we are trying to do is to make it so that the Federal Government would say that local school boards, et cetera, could ask those questions if they had written consent. I do not know if I misinterpreted the gentleman or not. I do think it is, nonetheless, important to limit the Federal Government in the types of surveys it can do without parental consent. I hope that will be a model for States and school boards locally to also seek that consent, although I agree, in his amendment we would not be extending that requirement." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
