On the recordNovember 8, 2001
Mr. Speaker, I would like our colleagues to know that the education number in this bill, which is a very substantial number, is a solid number. The gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey) and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Regula) and I had begun to work on this issue in the spring actually, and in working with our counterparts in the Senate, we came to this number. So I think we have all made this commitment to the strong educational part of this bill, and I agree with the chairman of the subcommittee that this motion certainly reflects the viewpoint that we had established early on.
