Schools that aligns schools budgets to actual enrollment. The revised

authority consistent with the provisions of this Act.

be made in compliance with reprogramming guidelines outlined in section

``this Act'' contained in this title or in title IV shall be treated as
referring only to the provisions of this title or of title IV.
