What we tried to point out earlier is that the scholarships generally do both have a priority for District of Columbia. There are two kinds of scholarships, a tuition scholarship and an enhancement scholarship.

It can be, but there is a priority within the District. The reason we did not totally exclude it is because there are going to be some kind of special needs students that are already served outside of the District.

OK; let me further ask the gentleman another question, and I regret this is taking a lot of time, but the Reagan AIDS commission listed three recommendations regarding education on AIDS in the school system. One of them required States'…

Do they have to sign a report ahead of time proving they are not doing a thing of this sort?

OK; question No. 3: What's the enforcement effect of your amendment? I mean we discussed this yesterday with the Doolittle amendment as well. Let's assume a school is found to have violated your amendment. What's the penalty?

So the gentleman does not believe then that, if this amendment is adopted, that AIDS education will in any way be limited?

I think a discussion can lead us to a consensus in this amendment that gets where you want to go that doesn't have the negative effect that I feel.

The money is actually appropriated under title I, and the net effect of the two amendments together will be that the first requirement of every State is to use their limited chapter 1 dollars to do a survey before they use any of the money…

Let me say in all due respect that that then is exactly how we get all these rules, regulations and paperwork, because if the gentleman thinks there is any department in the Federal Government that is not going to take that section and…

But think about it, if that satisfied this requirement, have we not reached the level of absurdity when we require that schools have to point out that they spent 1 percent of their money of $360 on stamps and report that to the Federal…

I am not opposing the Armey amendment. I guess my advice is, to people, to simply understand the Ford amendment solves the home schools issue on teacher certification. What Mr. Armey intended to do was to clear up any potential problems in…

I have to tell Members that they may not always agree with the outcome but they will never find three men more committed to the education of our country than these three individuals. It has been a privilege to work with them. I thought I…
