On the recordJune 10, 1996
I would indicate, Madam Speaker, that the gentleman's State of Indiana will not lose any money for 5 years under this bill, and probably will ultimately not lose any money because of increasing appropriations. What we are trying to do in this bill is stop overidentification of children with disabilities and just serve those who really have disabilities. With this bill, we will eliminate the financial incentives for placing children into special education when they do not actually have disabilities. It is unfair to those children who, as I indicated earlier, are often black male children. But to ensure that education is not disrupted, this bill provides that 49 States lose nothing for 5 years and probably nothing ever as we increase the amount of money appropriated under this bill.
