SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Prior to 1991 the Department of Defense 
Dependents Schools (DoDDS) was required by Public Law 95-561, Defense 
Dependents' Education Act of 1978, to adhere to the provisions of the 
Education of All Handicapped Children's Act Public Law 94-142. With the 
enactment of Public Law 102-119, Individuals With Disabilities 
Education Act Amendments of 1991, DoD was required to implement a 
program of early intervention services for eligible DoD dependent 
children with disabilities from birth through 2 years of age and to 
make revisions to the Department of Defense's existing special 
education program for eligible DoD dependent children with 
disabilities, ages 3 through 21. This proposed rule will, if published 
as a final rule, update the existing rule on special education and 
implement an early intervention program to conform to the legislative 
mandates. Oral presentations will be limited to 10 minutes. Individuals 
wishing to make a presentation must indicate their intent to present 
and submit a written text of comments to Dr. Posante by July 28. 
Written submissions to accompany oral presentations may be submitted by
