     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 238, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 238, H.D. 1.
