Subject: Re: your article of 12/29

I got that information from a press release at this adress:
http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2005/12/12152005.html

Its from the U.S. Department of Education, and it doesn't specify  
what those programs are. I don't think that the efforts she was  
talking about had to do with funding, though it wasn't specific.

Thanks, hope this helps.
