           H.R. 1--FURTHER MODIFICATION OF AMENDMENT NO. 549

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that, 
notwithstanding passage of H.R. 1, it be in order for the previously 
agreed to amendment No. 549 to be further modified with the changes 
that are now at the desk.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection? The Chair hears none, 
and it is so ordered.
  The amendment (No. 549), as further modified, is as follows:

       ``(A) Amount.--In determining the amount of a grant awarded 
     under this subsection; the Secretary shall consider the cost 
     of the modernization and the ability of the local educational 
     agency to produce sufficient funds to carry out the 
     activities for which assistance is sought.
       ``(B) Federal share.--The Federal funds provided under this 
     subsection to a local educational agency shall not exceed 50 
     percent of the total cost of the project to be assisted under 
     this subsection. A local educational agency may use in-kind 
     contributions, excluding land contributions, to meet the 
     matching requirement of the preceding sentence.
       ``(C) Maximum grant.--A local educational agency described 
     in this subsection may not receive a grant under this 
     subsection in an amount that exceeds $5,000,000 during any 2-
     year period.
       ``(5) Applications.--A local educational agency that 
     desires to receive a grant under this subsection shall submit 
     an application to the Secretary.''

  Mr. REID. I thank the Chair.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from North Dakota, Mr. Dorgan, 
is recognized for 10 minutes.
