“The gentleman is drawing an analogy with some of the civil rights laws, and my interpretation would be that this bill does not work that way. If the question is who funded the questionnaire, if the Federal Government funded the questionnaire in whole or in part, this law would apply. One point I will need to clarify, because there has been a little confusion in the debate, is that the Grassley law that was referred to earlier and that you know so well, the General Education Provisions Act, that applies only to programs under that particular act, most of which occur in a school context. This applies to all Federal agencies except those covered by the Grassley act who would have questionnaires that are triggered and this act is triggered, that discuss areas in the bill that have already been noted by many speakers.”
