On the recordSeptember 3, 1997
just to briefly say that not only is it in the Record, but if this bill passes as it is written, it is in the bill, in the bill on page 29 where it requires that before any money can be spent in violation of any of the efforts that my colleagues are contending, that the President must certify that it is not going to be used. It requires further that the Department of Defense do exactly the same thing. So, we have for the first time in history in our bill, under title II on page 29, implemented into law the prohibitions against the teaching of anything that would lead to any type of atrocity.
