Chris Dodd said "I was proposing something that Senator Lott and I talked about years ago, which was the Federal commitment to special education, where we made a promise long ago to our communities across this country that we would have the Federal level of participation for special education around 40 percent. We are nowhere near that presently. We are still quite short of that 40 percent commitment. I raise the question that if we have $1.6 billion would it be better allocated to help out families and communities with escalating special education costs?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
