There is not a shred of doubt in my mind that this amendment is nothing more than what the Republicans wanted to do with the Department of Education in the last Congressto abolish it. This is nothing more than a piecemeal attempt by Mr. HOEKSTRA to cut Federal funding for our Nations educational programs. to cut funding of Federal educational programs that the Republicans have been attacking for years. Mr. Speaker. the Republicans have previously sought cuts in such programs as Safe and Drug Free Schools. schooltowork. Goals 2000 School Reform. Eisenhower teacher training. and bilingual and immigrant education. Now. by the subterfuge of this amendment. by creating block grants. Republicans can succeed in ending these programs.
