President. the amendment that I have offered on behalf of myself and a number of other Senators would restore $300 million for impact area aid for school districts that are adversely impacted by the presence of large military installations. In fact. the presence of these installations have created burdens for local governments. for local school taxing authorities. and it is the moral obligation of the Federal Government to compensate those districts so they are not required to absorb the burden of educating the children. We have a particular problem in my State in that we are compelled to educate illegal aliens for which there is no tax base. as well as military dependents. There are problems that exist in school districts throughout the United States. We feel that this is justified.
