On the recordMay 11, 1995
I would say, first of all, again, I would point out that this amendment is exactly the same as legislation that passed in the last two Congresses and that there were estimates made. The funding provided in the bill for the grant programs is basically in there to provide adequate funding for the States on a matching grant basis to do this kind of monitoring. Now, again, I am not saying a lot of States do not already do this. Some do, some do not. What we are trying to do is provide uniform criteria and provide the States with some funding so that they can administer the program.
