Last week President Clinton & Secretary Riley unveiled The Educational
Excellence for All Children Act of 1999 -- the Administration's proposal for
reauthorizing the Elementary Elementary & Secondary Education Act (ESEA). ESEA,
established in 1965 as part of President Johnson's War on Poverty, is the
federal government's single largest investment in elementary & secondary
education.
