COMPACT OF FREE ASSOCIATION AMENDMENTS ACT OF 2003
Mr. DOMENICI. I would like to ask the chairman and ranking member of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, whether they support this approach and whether they will fund these alternate grants?
Mr. SPECTER. Yes. I support this approach proposed by my colleagues from the Energy Committee and assure them that, given a sufficient allocation, I will support funding for education in the FSM and RMI through the new supplemental education grants authorized in their amendment to H.J. Res. 63.
