ALERT!   ALERT!   ALERT!   ALERT!   ALERT!
             HR2, THE STUDENT RESULTS ACT, KILLS THE FOREIGN
                       LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
  On October 21, 1999, the House of Representatives passed HR2, the
Student Results Act, as part of their efforts to reauthorize elementary
and secondary education.  HR2 does not reauthorize the Foreign Language
Assistance Act, thereby eliminating it.  At this time, the House
Committee on Education and the Workforce, chaired by Rep. William
Goodling (R-PA),  has indicated that they do not intend to include FLAP
in any other legislation addressing elementary and secondary education.
The Republican majority on the Committee has expressed a desire to see
the program killed.  Please contact your Representative immediately and
ask them to express to the Education Committee their support for the
Foreign Language Assistance Program.  It is not too late to save FLAP.
