A spokesperson for the Education Department said the cuts will not affect the institute's primary work, including the National Assessment of Educational Progress , known as the nation's report card.

Losing this momentum will be very detrimental to finding the TRUTH , which is turning out to be a disaster for those involved in running our Government. Much left to find. No Excuses!!!"
