Howard Metzenbaum: “Senator Simon and I have agreed to correct an error included in the committee report on S. 1361, the School-to-Work…”

On the recordFebruary 7, 1994
Senator Simon and I have agreed to correct an error included in the committee report on S. 1361, the School-to-Work Opportunities Act. The error concerns the entities eligible to administer the school-to-work program. As adopted by the Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources, S. 1361 makes clear that only members of the local partnership may administer the school-to-work program. The report filed by the committee erroneously implies that entities outside of the local partnership may administer the program. I have asked Senator Simon to make sure that this language is corrected in conference and he has assured me that the final bill and report language will reflect our agreement that only local partnership entities may administer the school-to-work program.
