           CONTINUED ATTACK ON THE AMERICAN EDUCATION SYSTEM

  Mr. MILLER of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MILLER of California. Madam Speaker, once again today we are 
going to have a continuing resolution. What is continuing about this 
resolution is the resolution of the Republicans to continue to attack 
the American education system.
  In this continuing resolution, once again the Republican Party will 
put forth the largest cuts to education in the history of this country. 
They will put forth cuts in programs of title I to put in jeopardy 
those children in our school systems that most need an education. They 
will put forth cuts in the DARE Program, the program that brings our 
community police, our young children, and the campaign against drugs in 
schools and drugs in young people's lives together. They will cut that 
program. Over $3 billion in cuts will be in this continuing resolution, 
which continues their assault on our education system.
  They do this at a time when more and more parents are revaluing 
education because they now understand how terribly important it is to 
the future of their children's success and our economic existence. The 
Republicans should stop this attack on the American education system.
