Mr. Speaker, the 25 fund act of 1980 required 25 of the tax receipts from timber harvested from the u. S. National forest to be returned to the counties where the tax receipts originated.

This is because the 1908 law specifies that they directly support local schools and road activities in National Forests. Unfortunately
Clients might be able to endure. As long as they do not talk to their tpas even if the government does, that would not be a substantial burden or make them complicit in the provision of contraception . Is that correct .

The accountable pool of students in order to avoid being sanctioned. And so there needs to be some mechanism in an accountability policy to account for that dynamic. One of the concerns, there also needs to be, if theres a cap some degree of flexibility to allow for natural variation in the share of students at a given school or even at a given district that might actually be appropriately excluded from the standard assessment. And so i think those policies have been a bit more rigid than they actually should be. But there needs to be some mechanism and im not the one to tell you the details of how to do it. Thank you, dr.
