              STATEMENT ON THE UNSOELD AMENDMENT TO H.R. 6

                                 ______


                        HON. THOMAS M. FOGLIETTA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 24, 1994

  Mr. FOGLIETTA. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, March 22, during 
consideration of H.R. 6, the Improving America's Schools Act, I voted 
against an amendment offered by Mrs. Unsoeld to an amendment offered by 
Mr. Doolittle regarding the teaching of sex education. This should not 
be interpreted to mean that I supported the original Doolittle 
amendment; quite the opposite. I had planned to oppose the Doolittle 
amendment.
  My concern with the amendment offered by Mrs. Unsoeld is that it 
attempted to correct an amendment so seriously flawed in its intent 
that it was beyond repair. I felt that the House should vote on the 
original Doolittle amendment, and that it should be overwhelmingly 
rejected.
