“But the effect of it is to prevent her from getting a vote on her amendment unless it is corrected. This does correct it, and I think it makes a great deal of sense. The amendment (No. 2296), as modified, reads as follows: At the end of the bill, add the following: TITLE --SENSE OF CONGRESS SEC. ____01. FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) The people of the United States know that effective teaching takes place when the people of the United States begin (A) helping children master basic academics, (B) engaging and involving parents, (C) creating safe and orderly classrooms, and (D) getting dollars to the classroom. (2) Our Nation's children deserve an educational system which will provide opportunities to excel. (3) States and localities must spend a significant amount of Federal education tax dollars applying for and administering Federal education dollars. (4) Several States have reported that although the States receive less than 10 percent of their education funding from the Federal Government, more than 50 percent of their paperwork is associated with those Federal dollars.”
