If title IV had been adopted as part of the conference report. these several programs would have had their respective authorization ceilings increased by about $1.6 billion. These programs have nothing directly to do with the rehabilitation of handicapped individuals. Title V of H.R. 3520 authorized funds for school districts with more than 500 immigrant children. Since the numbers of legal and illegal alien children in the public schools is unknown. the projected costs for this new program ranged from $500 million to $2 billion. The conferees agreed to drop both titles IV and V from the House bill. thus removing two significant barriers to the speedy adoption of the conference report on S. 1340. I urge my colleagues to vote for the conference report.
