Mr. MITCHELL. Madam President, I am advised by the distinguished

final passage of the conference report. Therefore, I request that we
now proceed directly to a vote on final passage, and that this will be

I ask for the yeas and nays.

So the conference report was agreed to.
Mr. MITCHELL. Madam President, I move to reconsider the vote.
Mr. FORD. I move to lay that motion on the table.
The motion to lay on the table was agreed to.
Mr. HELMS. Madam President, if I had been present at the
rollcall vote on passage of the conference report to accompany H.R.
1804, the Goals 2000 bill, I would have voted ``no.'' This is not
legislation that the American people would support if they were made
aware of the implications of the provisions of H.R. 1804.
