On the recordApril 30, 1998
I wish to respond to the comments of the majority leader. The fact that it is designated as not aid to the school eliminates the Federal enforcement, and there are a lot of things that can be done under Federal enforcement that are exempt because of that language. I had an amendment in the Committee on Rules that was denied to allow that language to come out so that we could have full participation and full enforcement of civil rights. That is not in the bill because of that language.
