Multilingualism Plan Panned http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A46306-2001Mar22.html More than 30 House members, most of them Republicans, have urged President Bush to overturn a Clinton administration proposal asking federal agencies to plan to provide interpreters and literature in multiple languages. After taking office, Bush blocked a variety of proposed rules, including some agency plans for complying with Clinton's order to help people with "limited English proficiency." Rep. Bob Stump (R-Ariz.) said in a letter to colleagues that "the United States should encourage all individuals united by one government to join in a single language," not pay for multilingual services.
