                       References in Text

    Section 7601(8) of title 20, referred to in par. (10), was in the 
original section 7004(a) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act 
of 1965, and was translated as if it read section 7501(8) of that Act to 
reflect the probable intent of Congress, because the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act of 1965 does not contain a section 7004, and 
section 7501(8) defines limited English proficiency.
