Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the Department of Education should suspend any and
all planning, development, implementation, or adminis-
tration of any national testing proposal in reading, math-
ematics, or any other subject area until Congress pro-
vides specific, explicit statutory authority.
Whereas President Clinton first announced on February 4,
1997, his plan to develop and implement national tests
for reading at grade 4 and mathematics at grade 8;
•HRES 210 IH
Whereas overall campaign spending for congressional races
has risen from $99,000,000 in 1976 to $626,000,000 in
1996, a more than sixfold increase;
Whereas, since 1992, when political parties were first re-
quired to report soft money contributions to the Federal
Election Commission, these contributions, which are
raised outside Federal election law, have tripled, from
$86,000,000 in 1992 to over $263,000,000 in the last
election cycle;
Whereas there has been a proliferation of negative ‘‘issue’’
ads paid for by political parties and interest groups to in-
fluence Federal elections, further increasing the cost of
campaigns;
Whereas as political campaigns have become longer, costlier,
and more negative, voter apathy has increased and voter
participation in Presidential elections has declined from
60 percent in 1948–1968, to 53 percent from 1972 to
1992, to an all-time low of 49 percent in 1996;
Whereas these trends will continue if Congress fails to enact
comprehensive campaign finance reform;
Whereas President Clinton and Speaker of the House, Newt
Gingrich, on June 11, 1995, in Claremont, New Hamp-
shire, expressed their support for the creation of an inde-
pendent commission to write binding campaign finance
reform legislation, but no commission was ever estab-
lished; and
Whereas President Clinton, during his State of the Union ad-

campaign finance reform and pass legislation by July 4,

eral elections by no later than September 30, 1997, and
adopt as a goal the final enactment of such legislation by

Whereas during the period between February and May 1997,
the Department of Education has moved ahead expedi-
tiously to begin the process for developing the tests, with-
out specific, explicit statutory authority;
Whereas the Department of Education has proceeded to pub-
lish a Request for Proposal on April 25, 1997, for con-
tractual assistance for development of the tests and in-
tends to sign contracts on or after June 24, 1997, for
such test development;
Whereas the Department of Education has stated that it in-
tends to spend, for test development, up to $12,000,000
in each of 1997 and 1998 from the Fund for the Im-
provement of Education authorized in part A of title X
of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965;
Whereas the Fund for the Improvement of Education pro-
vides no specific, explicit authority for the Department of
Education to develop or implement national tests;
Whereas the legislative history of the Fund for the Improve-
ment of Education does not mention or indicate any in-
tention to establish national testing;
Whereas the language of section 10101(b)(1)(A) of the Ele-
mentary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (relating
to the Fund for the Improvement of Education) provides
authority merely for the ‘‘development and evaluation of
model strategies for assessment of student learning’’
rather than authority for the development of actual na-
tional assessments or tests;
Whereas the language of section 10101(b)(1)(A) of the Ele-
