1Opinion of the Court
W. EUGENE DAVIS, Circuit Judge:
This case presents the question of whether the State of Texas waived its Eleventh Amendment immunity to suit in federal court by accepting federal funding to support its Vocational Rehabilitation Program under Title I of the Rehabilitation Act, 29 U.S.C. § 701-796. The district court agreed with the State of Texas that 29 U.S.C. § 722(c)(5)(J)(i) did not represent a clear-statement of congressional intent to condition the State’s receipt of federal funds upon the State’s waiver of Eleventh Amendment immunity. We affirm.
