On the recordJuly 15, 1998
the Republican-led House voted overwhelmingly for Education Savings Accounts to give every American family the power to improve the educational choices for their children. Not every family today can afford a home computer or the SAT prep course, but through IRA-style Education Savings Accounts, Republicans hope to make these education expenses more available to children. Who is in a better position to use this money to help improve our Nation's education needs, Washington bureaucrats or American families? That is the decision that must be made. Mr. Speaker, the best way to help improve education is to give each family more of their own money so they can choose what and how to help their children. For this to happen, President Clinton must free our children from the education bondage of special interests and sign the Education Savings Account conference report into law.
