Remarks of The Honorable Dale E. Kildee   Appointment of Conferees on H.R. 1 No Child Left Behind Act 2001   July 18, 2001      Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me this time. I join my colleagues in supporting the motion to go to conference on H.R. 1.     Mr. Speaker, H.R. 1 represents the opportunity to demand results and report the achievement of all students. The substantially increased resources provided in both bills, coupled with emphasis on accountability, is a hopeful recipe for improving our educational system. In addition to the critical focus on accountability, the conference report on H.R. 1 will give us the chance to significantly expand resources and focus on extended learning opportunities for children after school.     The 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program, a priority initiative retained by both the House and the Senate bills, will collectively enable communities to invest in after school enrichment opportunities for their children.     While our eventual conference points will have many successes, a resolution of some issues are daunting and will take the hard work of all conferees to finalize, and we are committed to do that. Some of our more difficult issues include balancing competing versions of flexibility at the State and local level, creating a usable and realistic definition of adequate yearly progress that does not mask failure, and ensuring that our most disadvantaged receive the targeted resources they need. While these issues will be fervently discussed, I believe we can produce a strong bipartisan conference.     Mr. Speaker, we have kept bipartisanship through this whole process so far, and I think we are committed to keeping that bipartisanship within the conference.
