    TITLE II--EXTENSION OF SCHOOL DAY FOR ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY 
                          EDUCATION IN AMERICA

     SEC. 201. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the increasing prevalence of single parents and 
     families with two working parents has forced many of our 
     nation's children to be at home without supervision after 
     school;
       (2) performance of our nation's schoolchildren must 
     increase markedly in the future for our country to be 
     competitive in the global market;
       (3) our economic competitors have significantly longer 
     school days, allowing for greater learning and educational 
     experiences for a child, and making for a higher level of 
     literacy and education in the general population; and
       (4) our nation's priorities should focus on the needs of 
     children and of working families.

     SEC. 202. EXTENSION OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL DAY.

       (1) To remain eligible for funding pursuant to the 
     Elementary and Secondary Education Act a school must 
     institute a policy whereby its school day will last until 5 
     o'clock p.m., local time.
       (2) In instituting a policy extending the lateness of its 
     school day, no school may begin its school day later than 
     9:00 o'clock a.m., local time.
       (2) The Secretary of Education shall establish a formula 
     grant program to provide funds to States to carry out section 
     (1) above.

     SEC. 203. FUNDING.

       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, of the 
     funds available to the Department of Defense, $49,000,000,000 
     shall be made available to the Department of Education to 
     carry out this Title.
                                 H.R. 7

                         Offered By: Mr. McHale

               (Page and line references are to H.R. 872)

       Amendment No. 47: Page 9, after line 21, insert the 
     following new paragraph (and redesignate the succeeding 
     paragraphs accordingly):
       (2) to provide for sufficient forces to meet the national 
     security strategy of using forward-deployed and forward-based 
     forces to promote regional stability, deter aggression, 
     improve joint/combined operations among United States forces 
     and allies, and ensure timely crisis response;

               (Page and line references are to H.R. 872)

     initially authorized by the United Nations Security Council 
     before the date of the enactment of this section, the 
     applicable percentages under the preceding sentence shall be 
     25 percent. For United Nations peacekeeping operations that 
     are initially authorized by the United Nations Security 
     Council on or after the date of the enactment of this 
     section, the President may increase the percentage 
     limitations under the first sentence of this subsection to a 
     percentage not greater than 25 percent. The President may 
     exercise the authority under the preceding sentence only 
     after transmitting to Congress a report providing notice of 
     the percentage increase under the preceding sentence and a 
     statement of the reasons for the increase.
