On the recordNovember 8, 1997
An amendment offered by Senator Kennedy and myself providing the Department of Education with $1.1 million to begin planning efforts for Nation's celebration of the millennium was adopted by the Senate during consideration of the Labor-HHS appropriations bill. These funds were requested by the Department of Education and were to be offset within the Department. However, it is my understanding that this language was deleted without prejudice during conference.
