For Immediate Release                 March 5, 1999


STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

 I strongly support the efforts of Senators Murray and Kennedy to offer a class
size amendment to the Ed-Flex bill. We must make a long-term commitment now to
hire 100,000 new, well-prepared teachers to reduce class size in the early
grades. The Republican Leadership is wrong to try to shut down debate on this
bill before a class size amendment can be voted on.  I urge them to allow an
up-or-down vote on this amendment, and I urge every Senator to vote for it.

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

 The Republican Leadership continues to block a vote on an amendment to finish
the job of hiring 100,000 teachers to reduce class size. Communities across
the country need to know that Congress will live up to the bipartisan
commitment we made last fall to fund this effort. The American people expect
us to work together to improve the education of our students.  I calIon the
Republican Leadership to allow an up-or-down vote on more teachers and smaller
classes.

For Immediate
Release
March 11, 1999


STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

 I have long supported the Ed-Flex concept, and I was pleased when the
Congressional leadership decided to take up this bill as one of its first
matters of business. Today, however, the Senate used this bill to undermine
one of our most important educational achievements -- an initiative to hire
100,000 well-prepared teachers to reduce class size in the early grades to a
national average of 18. 'The Senate not only voted down an amendment to ensure
long-term funding for this initiative, but passed an amendment that would allow
local school districts to completely opt out of class size reduction.  I will
work hard for the elimination of this amendment in Conference. We should be
working together to make continued progress on obvious national needs such as r


 educing class size -- not attempting to tear down the bipartisan work we did
 last year to address this problem.
