I think it is echoed in Senator Murray's statement about what Washington State is doing to integrate at the State level.

I hope that we can somehow reach into our taxpayer dollars that go through you to find ways to have them better coordinated.

So the higher the poverty, the better quality of the program, the more the subsidy that you got, which I thought was a clever way of trying to deal with the quality issue as well as the issue of access.

I think the question maybe is a slightly different one because it is sort of a balance between how prescriptive we want to be from here versus how much flexibility we want to give people to make the right decisions.

Thank you also, for the opportunity to testify at today's hearing on the Chimney Rock National Monument Act of 2010.

As Senator Bennet illustrated, the site certainly warrants monument status, both for giving--as a Commission, we support the legislation, both for giving Chimney Rock the recognition it deserves and for the new visitors it will bring to…

It's my hope that we can work collaboratively to improve and strengthen the legislation.

I'm proud to call you 'Mr. Chairman.'

I would draw the committee's attention to a number of letters I brought with me today that support the overall effort.

I want to extend a special thanks to you, as you said, for joining me as an original co-sponsor on this important piece of legislation.

I'm here today to testify in support of S. 3303, the Chimney Rock National Monument Act of 2010.
