In addition to these large. recognizable districts. another 15 to 20 small districts would also be included. Mr. President. in summary I again state that my amendment increases the appropriations for refugee education. so that the 60 eligible districts nationwide may be served. Which brings the appropriations language into conformity with the clear intent of the authorizing legislation. It would be unfair and inequitable to fund concentrations of refugee schoolchildren in one part of the country and exclude such children in other areas. The Refugee Education Act was passed to provide relief wherever it is needed. and this amendment will assure an equitable distribution.
