Mr. Chairman, I think the gentlewoman from Hawaii [Mrs. Mink] has brought to us an area of very great interest to all of us, something that we have expressed interest in for the last few authorizations, and I would like to do this: I would like to have a hearing on this issue itself, and, if the gentlewoman, and I have talked to her, would be willing to withdraw this amendment, we would have hearings just on this one subject.

The Girls Act strengthens support for programs to keep pregnant and parenting teens in school to earn a high school diploma.
Sexual harassment is widespread and affects female students at all levels of education, including those in elementary and secondary schools.
Current law lacks assurances that federal education programs will compensate for girls' different learning styles and different exposures to technology.
I am proud to introduce the Educating America's Girls Act of 1999 today and urge my colleagues to support this important legislation.
