"Executive Order 13166 says that any entity which receives federal funds must provide whatever services it offers in any foreign language spoken by anyone likely to receive those services. It says failure to do so is likely to constitute "discrimination on the basis of national origin" as prohibited by Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights law. Signed by President Clinton on August 11, 2000, the order directs all federal agencies to draft plans to "improve access to federally conducted or federally assisted programs for persons who, as a result of national origin, are limited in their English proficiency."

This executive order gives the United States hundreds of all-but-official languages. Urge President Bush to overturn this order, and rescind the Justice Department guidelines which accompanied it.

Entities affected by this order include any doctor or medical provider who participates in Medicare or Medicaid, and any public schools, libraries, homeless shelters or other government-assisted organizations.
