  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.
