If we had leadership from a President who could articulate a coherent policy. we might not be in the bind we find ourselves today. Before I speak to the merits of this bill I would like to mention that. as a result of cooperation between the majority and minority on the Education and Labor Committee. we were able to cut the cost of this authorization in half and most importantly we were to ensure that there would be no "double dipping" by school districts which might qualify for aid for these students under more than one Federal program. Specifically. an amendment I offered and which was adopted in committee insures that any Federal funds received by a State or local school district on a statutory formula basissuch as impact aidunder any other Federal program for the purpose of refugee educational assistance would reduce. dollar for dollar. the amount entitled under any title in this bill. However. money received under discretionary grant programs for these same purposes would not be considered in the allocation formula. Mr.
