Speech #960322696

By accepting title V we would merely be reaffirming our support for authorizing language we have already accepted and an appropriation that has already been made. The remainder of H.R. 7859 as passed by the Senate is identical to the House version. It authorizes $450 per child for 3 fiscal years to assist local education agencies in providing basic education to Cuban and Haitian refugee children. It also authorizes additional assistance for supplementary educational services for Cuban. Haitian. and recently arrived Indochinese refugee children. This special assistance will go only to the most heavily impacted school districts. The authorizations for this program are $750 per child in the first year. $500 per child in the second year and $350 per child in the third year. Finally. the bill authorizes $300 per adult for grants to State educational agencies for educating Cuban and Haitian refugee adults. All of these authorizations can be ratably reduced according to how much is actually appropriated for these programs. The administration is now in support of this legislation.
