I rise in support of this amendment. The Dade County School System will be under a great hardship if this amendment does not pass. We have at the present time 70.000 school children in Dade County from Cuban refugee parents. At the present time we have been receiving $12 million to assist these children. If this is cut back. this will place an undue hardship on a group of taxpayers of this country that have welcomed this influx of refugees. all of whom had been processed through Dade County when they came Into this country. I think we are entitled to some assistance. I hope the Members will vote for this to enable us to meet these obligations.
