“I want to make two quick responses. No. 1, the Senator from Kentucky is absolutely right, it was in the conference report, but I tell the Senator from Kentucky, it was not in the House bill, it was not in the Senate bill, and I have been informed by staff it was a drafting error in the conference report. It was a mistake on the part of the drafters in putting that in. It was not intended policy by either body to include what the Breaux amendment does. I think one of the reasons is--and I get back to the fact that there are Federal dollars out there for the States to use for that last 5 years, and I think that is more than generous and complies with what the Governors want to do, which is to have Federal dollars available for the voucher program after the 5-year period.”
