References in Text

Section 7111 of this title, referred to in subsec. (a)(1), was in the original "section 4111", meaning section 4111 of Pub. L. 89–10, which was translated as reading section 4011 of that Act to reflect the probable intent of Congress, because Pub. L. 89–10 does not contain a section 4111, but does contain a section 4011 which relates to State allotments.

The Goals 2000: Educate America Act, referred to in subsec. (a)(1), is Pub. L. 103–227, Mar. 31, 1994, 108 Stat. 125 (except titles V and IX), as amended, which is classified principally to chapter 68 (§5801 et seq.) of this title (except subchapters V (§5931 et seq.) and IX (§6001 et seq.)).
