On the recordMarch 5, 1999
Just briefly the other question, I have been watching what has been going on. I am not on a committee with direct jurisdiction here, but I was prompted to speak by the fact that in this game of delay and blockage we are now dragging in outside amendments. The chairman says he wants these other amendments considered in the context of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Am I mistaken in my impression that the Secretary of Education, who I think is supportive of Ed-Flex measures, advanced the position that those Ed-Flex measures should be considered in the context of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act?
