Mr. Chairman. let me just close by indicating that in spite of what we may hear from some national leaders. every immigrant parent wants their child to become proficient in the English language as quickly as they possibly can. That is every parent. because they know it is the ladder of success. As we have heard today. there are many who spoke here today who. because of their ability to go through a bilingual program. became very. very successful. But again. let me repeat that it is a competitive grant program. Nobody has to accept it. Nobody has to request it.
