WRESTLING WITH FEDERAL

BUREAUCRATS

(Mr. HASTERT asked and was given

permission to address the House for 1

minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. HASTERT. Mr. Speaker, as we

wrestle with a way to save Medicare, I

rise today to urge my colleagues to

help me save college wrestling and

other sports that have fallen victim to

an intrusive Federal bureaucracy.

In my home State of Illinois, four of

the major State-funded universities

have either dropped or threatened to

drop wrestling as a varsity sport.

These schools have been forced to

consider these cuts because of a misinterpretation of title IX. The Office of

Civil Rights in the Department of Education has demanded that schools drop

men sports, such as wrestling, soccer,

and swimming, in order to achieve numerical proportionality with women

sports.

This is another example of what happens when good intentions turn into

unintended consequences.

Mr. Speaker, the purpose of title IX

is not to limit opportunity. The purpose is to create even greater opportunity for all of our young athletes.

As a former wrestling coach, I urge

my colleagues to consider commonsense changes to title IX. Let us not

allow Federal bureaucrats to pin down

the hopes and dreams of millions of

America’s athletes.

COMMUNICATION FROM THE HONORABLE FRANK TEJEDA, MEMfBER OF CONGRESS

The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr.

LATOURETTE) laid before the House the

following communication from the

Honorable FRANK TEJEDA, Member of

Congress:
