On the recordFebruary 24, 1994
The object of the Armey amendment is worthy of reinforcement. Once started, Federal intrusion and regulation are like toothpaste out of the tube, they cannot go back. We have all seen this and know it to be true. For this reason, I believe this is a real issue worthy of a real solution, and that solution is the Armey amendment. Home schools, parochial schools, and private schools are well regulated on the State level. We need to make it exceedingly clear that the Federal Government will not put its heavy hand where it does not belong. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in strong support of the Armey amendment to H.R. 6. Some of my colleagues have said that this amendment is an unnecessary solution to an unnecessary problem. I completely disagree. My staff and I have answered many phone calls from worried and concerned parents in the eighth district of Missouri about H.R. 6.
