As I read that section of the substitute. it states: (1) demonstrate the ability to read. write. understand. or interpret any matter. (2) demonstrate any educational achievement or his knowledge of any particular subject ... These people are not illiterate. by any means. They are extremely bright. many of them extremely competent. but in their own language. not in English. I would like the manager of the bill to say whether or not he agrees with me that. under the pending measure. which would ban literacy tests. it would clearly preclude the use of any test or device requiring one to read or write in English.
