  H.R. 6: WHAT DOES THE FORMULA DO FOR YOU IN YOUR DISTRICT IN THIRD, 
                        FOURTH, AND FIFTH YEARS?

  (Mr. GOODLING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOODLING. Mr. Speaker, I would respond to the gentleman from New 
Mexico as well as the gentleman from Pennsylvania as well as the 
gentleman from New York, the discussion today should have very little 
to do with the issues they talked about. There is only one issue that 
is major, and that issue is what does the formula do for you in your 
district in the third, fourth, and fifth years of this authorization?
  No one, not the chairman of the committee, not the chairman of the 
subcommittee, not the ranking member, not any of the staff can tell you 
that. That is why I said we need 3 days so that we can get the runs, so 
we can tell you what it will mean to your district.
  So I would hope that you put all the other rhetoric aside, 
concentrate on the ability to get the information you need to know what 
happens to your district.
  We are moving the program from a program of educationally 
disadvantaged to a program of poverty. That is not what the program was 
all about.
  The chairman said that six times in the conference.
  So I would hope you would concentrate on the discussion in 
relationship to the formula in the last 3 years of this authorization.
