Mr. Speaker. H.R. 2683 would allow the Secretary of Education to extend the existing contract for the operation of the Migrant Student Record Transfer System [MSRTS] until 1995. The Subcommittee on Elementary. Secondary and Vocational Education. which I chair. is in the process of reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Among the recommendations being reviewed by the subcommittee is one which calls for the elimination of MSRTS. authorized under the Migrant Education Act. This technical amendment provides the Department of Education a shortterm extension to continue the existing contract. until the Congress has reached a more definitive position on MSRTS in the course of its reauthorization deliberations.
