The committee met, pursuant to call,at 9:30 a.m., in Room 2175, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon.Augustus Hawkins [Chair- man] presiding. Members present: Representatives Hawkinsand Good ling. Staff present: Barbara Dandridge,administrative assistant (edu- cation); Andrew J. Hartman, minoritystaff director; and Beth Buehlmann, minority education coordinator. The CHAIRMAN. The Committeeon Education and Labor is called to order. This is the beginning ofa series of statements by outstanding ed ucators. It is our hope that wecan listen to those who are really on the firing line and to learn from themas to where we are in education today and in what directionwe are headed. We will have no com- ment on the statements that thevarious ones will issue during these several days of official hearingin the nature of a symposium. No questions will be asked ofwitnesses. We would like for them to confine themselves to the highlightsof their statements which will be entered in the record intheir entirety and no attempt will be made to editorialize or to change thestatements of those whc testi- fy. It is expected that at the end ofthe hearingfrom some 15 or 20 outstanding spokesmen in the fieldwe willsimply present what has been said and issue that,disseminate that to the public and perhaps out of those differentstatements a clearer and better un- derstanding of just whatwe are attampting to do in behalf of the Nation's interests will be better andmore clearly understood. Perhaps some action can be gleanedfrom what is said. So we will proceed today, tomorrow, and ifnecessary on Wednesday. It is our hope that other Members of the committeewill benefit from what is said. We will obviously share withour colleagues the informa- tion that we gather here this morningand this afternoon. Mr. Goodling and I are pleased to joinin sponsoring this sympo- sium. I would like to yield to himfor whatever statement he may wish to make. (1) A E3 2 Mr.GOODLING.Just that I am looking forward to these next couple of days. If we don't have all the answers by the end of those two days, I guess we will never get them.

HOWEY FORT WAYNE - With the primary just over two weeks away, a number of in- dicators point to a surge for architect Matt Kelty in his Republican primary mayoral race against Allen County 07 Commissioner Nelson Peters. The HPR Election Horse Race is mov- ing this contest from “Leans Peters” to “Tossup,” with, perhaps, a slight advantage to Kelty, a former aide to U.S. Sens. Richard Lugar and Dan Coats. Multiple sources tell HPR that Kelty is running an energetic, grassroots cam- Republican mayoral candidate Matt Kelty at his Fort Wayne headquarters. Polls and paign, similar to his 2002 challenge to State other indicators point to a surge in his campaign. (Fort Wayne Observed Photo) Rep.

One source told HPR, “You go to past week, Peters called for a public referendum, saying Peters’ headquarters and it is solemn and you find one that he is working with Fort Wayne legislators to get the person working. You go to Kelty’s headquarters and it’s a referendum passed in the Indiana General Assembly. beehive of activity.” In a Wednesday Fort Wayne Journal Gazette But beyond that, Peters has reacted badly to the editorial, the newspaper wrote, “Nelson Peters’ last-second, Harrison Square project that would build a hotel, baseball short-sighted attempt to force a referendum on Harrison stadium and condos in downtown Fort Wayne.

Action No. 97-0160, ordering NRWC to respond to Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3, as modified by the Court. INTRODUCTORY COAKMENTS Intemgatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 relate to activities from more than four years ago. NRTWC has experienced changes in personnel over those years, and documents may no longer exist, if they ever existed. Nonetheless, “WC, with the assistance of counsel and staff, has conducted a diligent search for documents and facts, and responds on the basis of information so gathered. The Court limited the scope of Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 to the 1992 senatorial candidates, and the Commission, by its attorneys in discussions with “WC counsel, has further limited the scope to the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Thus, NRTWC’s search has focused on the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Also, the Commission and NRTWC, in briefing and in discussions between counsel, have agreed that NRTWC may redact documents to delete supporter-identitjing information from documents to be produced, and NRTWC is doing so. MTERROGATORY NO. 3 NRlwC did not engage in, or finance, in whole or in pa, “any activities relating to federal elections in October-December 1992 .

Mr. Waxman's opening statement is enclosed. Attached is testimony given by Congressman Steve Bartlett of Texas, Senator Chafee, and the Congressional Budget Office. Also enclosed is a side-by-side comparison of the two bills and current Medicaid law developed by the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress.. Senator Bentsen has agreed to mark up Senator Chafee's bill early in the 101st Congress. Should Senator Bentsen become the Vice-President, Senator Matsunaga of Hawaii would become Senate Finance Committee Chairman and would, in all likelihood, be agreeable to moving forward. Congressman Waxman, while not going as far as to discuss mark-up on either his or Florio's bill, did agree, in both his opening and closing statements, to work with Congressman Florio on a compromise early in the next Congress. A list of current co-sponsors of the Chafee/Florio bills is attached. We need to keep all those returning Senators and Congressman on-board when this process begins anew in January. For those in your Congressional delegations who are not current co-sponsors, plan some visits to programs while they are home campaigning this fall and over the holidays.
