“I would like to discuss a topic that is first and foremost on the minds of Americans when asked about their concerns for the country and their political objectives for the Nation, and certainly their expectations with respect to the actions of this Congress. That is perfectly understandable and explainable, particularly when we consider that most families in America regard as their most treasured possessions and objects of responsibility raising their children. And even those who are not engaged in that directly certainly are indirectly, and view that as one of the most propound legacies for our country. The exciting proposal that has come out of the White House most recently with respect to education involves really trying to help create more of a market approach to American schooling than we have known on a national basis for quite some time. That announcement from our President in support of an educational tax credit is really one that is consistent with various States.”
