I am concerned about the impact of that amendment and what it is going to do to education. I do not know how many people understand what we have just done here. What we have just said in adopting this amendment on such a narrow vote is that many education programs including vocational education. bilingual education. education technology. immigrant education. safe and drugfree schools. and Goals 2000some you may like. some you may not like. but all of these programs are now part of a block grant. This money now goes to local education agencies in the form of a block grant. All of the things that we have worked so hard on. on a bipartisan basis. in terms of technology. safe and drugfree schools. vocational education. all of these are gone under this amendment.
