Well, I am very sympathetic to what the Senator from Ohio is saying. I have been a strong supporter of the displaced homemaker programs. But I think that under the language of his amendment, as I read it, it significantly expands the concept of ``displaced homemaker.'' Under ``Education Activities'' it says that the State educational agency shall use the funds made available to the State under this subtitle for work force education activities. To carry it out, there are certain State activities that are included. It then lists these activities in this section.
