Alright I'm stuck in a bind out to cite my source.
I'm have to follow any piece of legislation I liked. I choose the NCLB.
anyhow various amendments are offered.
The thing is I"m not taking the actualy text of the amendments .I'm using the descriptions that's printed when you look it up at thomas.loc.gov
Who do I attribute as the source? the congressman/woman who introduced it or just thomas.
here's an example.
this is Thomas's description
H.AMDT.52 Amendment (A010) offered by Mr. Hoekstra. (consideration: CR H2577-2579, H2608-2609; text: CR H2577)
Amendment sought to increase the authority of local educational agencies to transfer funds between programs from 50 percent to 75 percent upon state approval.
the actually amendment text is below
In section 701 of the bill, in subparagraph (A) of section 7203(b)(1) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (as proposed to be amended by such section 701), strike ``may transfer'' and all that follows through the end of such subparagraph and insert the following:
may transfer--
``(i) not more than 50 percent of the funds allocated to it under each of the provisions listed in paragraph (2) for a fiscal year to 1 or more of its allocations for such fiscal year under any other provision listed in paragraph (2); or
``(ii) not more than 75 percent of the funds allocated to it under each of the provisions listed in paragraph (2) for a fiscal year to 1 or more of its allocations for such fiscal year under any other provision listed in paragraph (2), if the local educational agency obtains State approval before making such transfer.
again I'm using thomas' description rather than what the amendment actually reads. hence I'm stuck. my professor isn't picky as he admits its his fault for not alloting class time to go over this and he says he is willing to let it slide. I'd prefer to correct rather than just ignore it.
