�REMARI<S OF SPEAKER GINGRICH FOLLOWING BUDGET AGREEMENT 4/25/96
''I think. however, that those who stayed to listen to Congressman Istook found that even with
Goals 2000 we improved the program dramatically and I believe that any conservative who looks
at the Istook amendment to Goals 2000 will feel very aood about how it's been improved. So
even there we're better off."

academic standards for what students should know and be able to do. n
