Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 23, 2001
Our bill does do just that. Again, several Members, and I especially want to commend the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Taylor), who has done an outstanding job in his district both conducting and holding meetings and someone himself who is often times entering other countries, going undercover, wearing disguises, et cetera, all in the pursuit of gaining information. Also, the gentleman from California (Mr. George Miller) mentioned earlier, and as a member of the Committee on Education and the Workforce perhaps he could provide insight here as well. He said one of the things that the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi) found that in conducting her meetings back home in her district is there is grave concern around the whole issue of schools, and what do we do, and how are we prepared with respect to schools. I know this is a longstanding interest of the gentleman; and as someone who is in the forefront of education issues, is this something the gentleman is picking up in New Jersey?
