John Williams: “What if the schools guess wrong? The gentleman is asking whether or not the schools have to guess. I am saying, yes…”

On the recordMarch 21, 1994
What if the schools guess wrong? The gentleman is asking whether or not the schools have to guess. I am saying, yes, they have to guess. What if they guessed wrong under the gentleman's amendment? If they are going to be litigated against, they are going to be sued. The community is going to be divided. If they guessed wrong, the Federal Government is going to deny every dime of money under this act. Does the gentleman support that?
