Amendment for Foreign Student Strategic Plan Shifted to State Department
Tue, 11/15/2005 - 15:12 — Mark Overmann
Sens. Norm Coleman (R-MN) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Thursday agreed to move jurisdiction over the development of a strategic marketing plan to increase the number of international students in the United States from the Department of Education to the Department of State. The amendment was originally approved last month by the Senate as part of the FY 2006 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations legislation. Since its passage, Senators have determined that the provisions would be more appropriately suited to the State Department.
