                       References in Text

    Section 241 of title 20, as in effect before enactment of the 
Improving America's Schools Act of 1994, referred to in par. (1)(C), 
means section 241 of Title 20, Education, prior to its repeal by Pub. L. 
103-382, title III, Sec. 331(b), Oct. 20, 1994, 108 Stat. 3965.


                               Amendments

    1994--Par. (1)(A). Pub. L. 103-382, Sec. 391(c)(4)(A), made 
technical amendment to reference to section 8801 of title 20 to reflect 
change in reference to corresponding section of original act.
    Par. (1)(C). Pub. L. 103-382 directed two separate amendments of 
par. (1)(C), the first, by section 391(c)(4)(B) of Pub. L. 103-382, 
directed the insertion of ``or successor authority'' immediately after 
``section 241 of title 20'', the second, by section 392(b)(2) of Pub. L. 
103-382, directed the insertion (without reference to the first 
amendment) of ``as in effect before enactment of the Improving America's 
Schools Act of 1994'' immediately after ``section 241 of title 20,''. 
Literal execution of the second amendment was not possible, as ``section 
241 of title 20,'' was amended to read ``section 241 of title 20 or 
successor authority,'' by the first amendment. Commas were editorially 
inserted before and after the phrase added by the second amendment and 
it was inserted immediately after ``section 241 of title 20'' to reflect 
the probable intent of Congress.
