Those allocations were arrived at after full legislative consideration of the Bilingual Education Act. As they reflect the will of Congress. they should be fully respected and complied with. Contrary to the administrations request. the bill would also maintain Emergency Immigrant Education assistance to the States. Under this program. grants are provided to States with school districts enrolling substantial numbers of immigrant children. In this way. the Federal Government will help cover the costs of educating about 300.000 immigrant children. whom overburdened school districts might otherwise be unable to serve adequately. With regard to job training. almost $21 million over the Presidents request has been added to restore funding for national pilot and demonstration programs. A chief aim of these programs is to improve the delivery of services to special populations.
