Further Rodino said the anti using pro vision was unconstitutional. Application limited rep. Ronald Mottl. A Ohio a supporter of the Collins amendment said the provi Sion would not apply to school busing in Progress or busing plans already ordered by the courts. A similar funding ban has been added by the House to the Bill authorizing spending for programs of the department of health education and welfare.
