On the recordSeptember 25, 2000
as a long-time supporter of fulfilling the Federal Government's commitment to fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) at 40 percent, this Member rises in strong support of H. Con. Res. 399, recognizing the 25th Anniversary of the enactment of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975. According to the Committee for Education Funding, before enactment of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act into law, more than one million children with disabilities were denied an education in America's public schools. This law incorporated all levels of government to ensure that children with disabilities had access to a 'free appropriate public education' that requires special education and related services. Currently, more than 6.2 million children, ages 3-21, with disabilities ranging from speech and language impediments to emotional disturbances, have benefitted from these services.
