On the recordMarch 21, 1994
I take this time to indicate to all of my colleagues that H.R. 6 is to extend for 5 years the authorization of appropriations for the programs under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. That is the purpose of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. I repeat that just so we do not get into the business of trying to reform all the school districts out there the way we think they would be reformed. As I said, each time when we start this discussion it is just as wrong from my side of the aisle as from the other side of the aisle to micromanage school districts unless we are sending all the funds.
