This amendment also fails to increase education technology programs to the same extent that the Harkin amendment would. In addition. the Lott amendment would appear to not include any additional funding for Head Start or job training programs. As I understand the Harkin amendment. in contrast. it increases spending levels for key programs well beyond the previous years level in the committee bill or in the Lott amendment. There is $136 million more for Goals 2000. $77 million for bilingual and immigrant education. S227 million more for education technology programs. Clearly. those are very important to us as we approach the new century.
