House Labor/Health & Human Services/Education Appropriations Subcommittee
approved an amendment on July 24, 1995 (vote: 30-23) that would require
the OCR to issue new "objective criteria" by December 31, 1995,
telling institutions how to comply with Title IX, especially the 3-prong
test. If the OCR fails to do so, it will be barred from spending any money
on the enforcement of sports programs' compliance. Norma Cantu, Assistant
Secretary of Education for Civil Rights had already committed to a policy
clarification by September.
Passed (219-208)
This legislation cuts more than $9 billion from health and education programs.
Rep. Istook's amendment (see above) was modified slightly by Rep. J. Dennis
Hastert, R-Illinois, and was accepted by voice vote. Hastert language calls

as it pertains to prongs two and three. The Senate bill, as adopted by
the Appropriations Committee, does not contain any of the title IX language.
