Arlen Specter: “Senator Hatfield, the answer is that these funds are intended for regional priorities only and only when the priority is…”

On the recordMarch 19, 1996
Senator Hatfield, the answer is that these funds are intended for regional priorities only and only when the priority is determined by a laboratory's board, and is a priority within the general problem areas established in the law. None of these funds are to be used for any other purpose. This is what Congress intended when we reauthorized these laboratories. A key role of the Office of Educational Research and Improvement is to guarantee that this expectation is met, not only with the additional funds we provide this year, but for all the funds for the regional educational laboratories.
