we have already had an opportunity to consider, since

she was kind enough to advance it to us. Is there any-

thing you would like to add?

MISS STERN: There are two things. When I
|
|

|
was in the State Department of Education, this provision

about changing these provisions that have helped to give

|
21
|
us continuity in our policy. When I was in the department
