On the recordApril 30, 1997

It would limit the amount of money they could take of our Federal education dollars that we put in the budget and consume on the bureaucracy. As we know, most funding for our local schools comes from the State and local levels, only about 7 percent comes from the Federal Government. But we need to be more efficient as to how we utilize those Federal dollars. This would in effect drive those dollars through the bureaucracy, Federal, State bureaucracy into the classroom. It would deny them access to that.
