I was fortunate to have had the opportunity this year to chair a subcommittee hearing in Hawaii. on title I. chapter 1 and 2 programs. I am very pleased to report that educators and parents testified that the supplemental instruction provided by Federal funds had had a significant and lasting impact on their children. Hawaii is a State with large populations of new immigrants whose children have either a limited grasp of English or who come from backgrounds of minimal educational opportunity. Title I of this bill provides for the special needs of these children. I am also very pleased that S. 373 includes as title X. the provisions of S. 360. a bill which passed the Senate by voice vote on April 22. 1987. and is the culmination of 10 years of study and effort designed to address the unique problems of native Hawaiian children.
