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

Let me take that one further. There is a recent study out, I think it was actually a study by the Department of Health and Human Services under the Bush administration, a 1989 report of the Secretary of Health and Human Services, a task…

It is difficult to follow those bipartisan comments of our subcommittee chairman, and I do agree with him. But I think I can follow our leader and say that he is right, this is what the Republicans would have tried to do if we had been in…

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'…

All right; I reclaim my time because I think my colleagues see the problem. No matter how good the intentions might be verbally, the problem is, if we adopt the Hancock amendment by itself, it has the effect of prohibiting school…

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?

Would the gentleman say under his amendment no school guidance counselor in America would be able to counsel a student, boy or girl, who came to them and said, ``I am really struggling with who I am''?

Let me give the gentleman some examples. It is very important that we understand what we are or are not doing here. Will counseling in school between a certified school counselor and a student on that student's struggle for personal…

I say to my colleagues, ``This is it. Either today you vote for education reform or you go back home and admit you're not really in support of it.'' There is not a Member among us who cannot come to the floor today, after the 6 years that…

I read this into the Record because I think it is important in this dialog that we have some understanding of what we mean by constitutionally protected school prayer, and I think it is important that we do so, that we do understand that…

I rise today in support of H.J. Res. 103, the Stenholm/Smith substitute. I am particularly pleased that the Stenholm/Smith substitute enjoys broad bipartisan support. This legislation was carefully crafted to meet constitutional challenges…

I rise today in support of the Republican Budget Committee alternative. I commend my colleague, John Kasich, for his hard work in formulating a comprehensive alternative to the resolution reported by the Budget Committee. In developing…

I simply want to point out to my colleagues, this is an attempt to respond, for lack of better description, to the learning revolution. It is a recognition that high technology will change the schools. It will change the subjects. It will…

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…

and Members, this is probably one of the more important amendments in the bill, because it really represents what this bill has become, not what I think it was intended to be all about. Unfortunately, the gentleman from Pennsylvania said…

Mr. Chairman and Members, this is probably one of the more important amendments in the bill, because it really represents what this bill has become, not what I think it was intended to be all about. Unfortunately, the gentleman from…

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…

I appreciate that. The thing I would like to simply point out, and I think this is important for the gentleman from New York [Mr. Owens] and everyone else to understand, is we do not delete anything in the parental involvement section of…

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…

that took up only 30, one-third of the 95 pages that this school has to fill out. The next thing they have to do is fill out five pages, which point out the private school targeting forms included within those local LEA funds, at which…

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…

it is important, because of all the publicity that has been involved in this issue, that every Member understand exactly what we are doing. If you want to solve the problem or the perception that there is a problem regarding the ability of…

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…
