I think President Obama has raised a very fundamental question about fairness.

The non-profit arts and culture industries inject over $166 billion into our economy each year.

The multiplier effect of arts spending is impressive: every dollar in cultural spending returns nine in federal income taxes.

oil and gas development of George's Bank, given the other values it provides for our economy, was a bad idea 30 years ago, and we see no reason to believe it is a good idea today.

we need FERC and the MMS to really begin to focus and do the analytics necessary to say what would it take to do a very large set of offshore wind development in this very close and important resource.

If we fail to take the moment in our history where we are focusing now on cap and trade, and on aggressive Federal policies for sustainable energy development, and don't focus on offshore wind, we will be regretting it for decades to come.

There is more that we can do to improve the early educational experiences of the nation's youngest children...

I would recommend that we set a baseline floor for quality for the investment and receipt of these dollars.

As President Obama rightly said in his first major speech on education last week, any significant education reform effort must start with children before they enter their kindergarten classrooms.

Sincerely, George Miller, Chairman.

Parents need more affordable, quality early education settings for their children as they work longer hours or take on a second job.

In an era of tight government budgets, it is impractical to consider active investment programs for all persons. The real question is how to use available funds wisely. The best evidence supports the policy prescription: invest in the very…

If the federal government sets a floor or baseline for the minimum level of child care quality that states will need to meet, what should be the minimum requirements of this system?

Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), Chairwoman of the Healthy Families and Communities Subcommittee, has asked that you respond in writing to the following questions:

Sincerely, George Miller, Chairman, Committee on Education and Labor.

I think we completely have our priorities here upside-down.

Let me just say, it is not going to happen.

I think we have a moral obligation here.

I think it is a natural assumption to believe that sometimes people are not moved by the most moral reasons for acting in certain ways.
