tained as a result of a search or seizure shall not be ex-
cluded in a proceeding in a court of the United States
on the ground that the search or seizure was in violation
of the fourth amendment to the Constitution of the United
States if the search or seizure was carried out in cir-
cumstances justifying an objectively reasonable belief that
it was in conformity with the fourth amendment. The fact
that evidence was obtained pursuant to and within the
scope of a warrant constitutes prima facie evidence of the
existence of such circumstances.
‘‘(b) EVIDENCE NOT EXCLUDABLE BY STATUTE OR
RULE.—Evidence shall not be excluded in a proceeding
in a court of the United States on the ground that it was
obtained in violation of a statute, an administrative rule
or regulation, or a rule of procedure unless exclusion is
expressly authorized by statute or by a rule prescribed by
the Supreme Court pursuant to statutory authority.
‘‘(c) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.—This section shall
not be construed to require or authorize the exclusion of
evidence in any proceeding.’’.
(b) CLERICAL AMENDMENT.—The table of sections
at the beginning of chapter 223 of title 18, United States

the development of the child’s brain from the earliest

the single most important tool for developing literacy

(3) A child who is not introduced to books and 
early literacy practices is more than three times as 
likely to drop out of school as a child who is intro-
duced to books and early literacy practices.
