III. and IV of the bill. funds received under a statutory formula through other Federal programs which seek to meet the same objectives of these titles would reduce the entitlement under this bill by the amount received under the other programs. While the committee and the House of Representatives were considering H.R. 7859. conferees on H.R. 5192. Education Amendments of 1980. were debating whether to retain an amendment offered by Senator WILLIAMS to the Senate higher education reauthorization bill which would provide Federal assistance through the impact aid law to those local educational agencies who were impacted by a recent influx of refugees. Under the assumption that the bill before us today will pass and the President will sign H.R. 7859. is it your understanding and intent that the Appropriations Committees should give priority to funding those programs authorized in this bill instead of the Williams impact aid amendment? Is it your intent that. should funds be provided for programs in this bill. the Appropriations Committees should not fund the Williams impact aid provision?
