Political Quotes

“I think some of them are very good amendments. I think some are relatively neutral. I think some are maybe a little detrimental to the bill. I just hope that everybody will listen carefully to the amendments and will not end up being a party vote necessarily and we do what is in the best interests of these children that we have talked about so frequently in the last hour or so. There is real significance to some of these amendments. I think it is very, very important that we understand the context of them. I would just like to also finally say at the end that, in my judgment, if you look at any aspect of Head Start that this underlying legislation basically improves the opportunity for young children who are within the parameters of the Head Start program, and I hope that all of us will be supportive of that.”
