On the recordJanuary 26, 1996
The figures I was given were that in the Improving America's Schools Act, which we adopted in the last Congress, we adopted the technology for education provisions. The President requested $50 million for K-12 funding for educational technology there. The House has cut that request from $50 to $25 million. The Senate Appropriations Committee cuts it down to $15 million. The bill we are considering here would result in even less funding for educational technology.
