It also covers each school district, the amount it should get. I appreciate this chance to testify before the committee and I request permission to revise and extend my remarks. Mr. PERKINS. I want to say that I appreciate the gentleman appearing here today and giving us the benefit of your views. This is not the first time that you have appeared and if I recall correctly, you have appeared on every occasion that this legislation was up for extention. I am delighted that you did appear, inasmuch as your father helped us write the original bill in 1949 and 1950. I have no questions. Do you have any questions? Mr. METCALF. No questions. Mr. PERKINS. Do you have any questions? Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. A very brief one. I was not quite sure about the purport of H. R. 8585. In brief, what would it do? Mr. LESINSKI. I am sorry I did not carry the explanation through thoroughly. H. R. 8585 takes in two conceptions of the law. First of all, it incorporates my original bill, which I believe was 4086, and then Congressman Wainwright's problem in his districts where the school districts have built the buildings before receiving their full allotment with expectation of getting their money. Now, the total amount of the bill, the figures are $75,547,000. That is to pay off all the back obligations for the school districts that have not received their full allotment. In the districts that have constructed facilities but have not received from the Federal Government the amount that we have put out, they are supposed to receive it and are entitled to it. Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Any unpaid entitlement would be paid under your bill; is that right? Mr. LESINSKI. Yes. Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Whether or not there was a failure to put in an application before a cutoff date? Mr. LESINSKI. That is correct. In other words, whether there is error made or misunderstanding between the Department and a superintendent of schools, which happens quite often, or the inability of a superintendent to complete the forms properly or a misjudgment on the amount of children coming in, which oftentimes occurs because we have to guess on the number of children coming in for the following year, for the coming year, or simply negligence. Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Of course, the entitlement, in itself, creates no legal obligation on the part of the Government to pay the school district that particular amount. Mr. LESINSKI. I accept that, which is quite correct, but on the other hand, the sad part about it is that the very school districts that need this money the most-I wouldn't say entirely, but a good portion of them and Congressman Elliott has that problem in his district. Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. I too have school districts that have impacts. Mr. LESINSKI. The important thing is that these things are invariably the ones that need it the most, and they suffer the most by the fact that one individual, due to an error, or something, is not receiving their full entitlement. Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. But this covers a lot more than errors that are made, I assume. This covers any entitlement for which full payment has not been made; is that right? Mr. LESINSKI. Basically, it is an error. |
