Mr. Speaker, the amendment has three provisions. One is to disallow any proselytization during the program. It says in the wording ``a participant in a program assisted by Federal funds.'' It also prohibits any discrimination in terms of who you serve, and it provides for civil rights protections under Federal law that apply to every other Federal program. I would hope that we would adopt this amendment.
