Extractions: if Funds to Invest in America Were Matched to Iraq Reconstruction If the amount of money to be spent on Iraq reconstruction were being invested at home, New Jersey's share alone would be $567.3 million, according to a report released today by New Jersey Citizen Action and New Jersey Policy Perspective. The numbers come from The American Parity Act Report , a national study conducted by the Washington-based Institute for America's Future that analyzes what a $20.3 billion domestic investment-the same amount being spent for Iraq reconstruction-could mean to financially strapped states. President George Bush's request that the United States pay an additional $87 billion for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan includes a specific request for $20.3 billion to pay for jobs, healthcare, education and homeland security in Iraq over the course of just one year. No such plan exists to create jobs and growth in America, despite many unmet needs in New Jersey and around the nation. "The Bush Administration's supplemental Iraq funding request is a concrete, funded plan to create Iraqi jobs and economic growth, build Iraqi schools, provide Iraqi's with healthcare and provide for other domestic needs," said Bridget Devane, New Jersey Citizen Action. "Meanwhile, New Jersey has nearly 2 million uninsured people, our school districts are slashing their budgets and tuition is increasing at our colleges and universities. Where are our national priorities?"

Extractions: June 1999 On June 4, 1997, President William J. Clinton signed the bill reauthorizing and amending the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
