I rise as a member of the Education and Labor Committee to join with my colleagues here in expressing my support for the pending legislation. H.R. 11. Adoption of this bill is necessary if we are to reauthorize some of our most important education programs through 1989. These programs include bilingual education. adult education. impact aid. emergency refugee education aid. and the Womens Educational Equity Act. Yesterday. this House took a bold step in approving legislation that will provide $425 million in new funds to improve math and science instruction in our Nations schools and colleges of education. That. however. must be viewed as a first step.
