the most important gift parents can give their children is a quality education. This precious gift will open doors of opportunity, and it will ensure that a parent's wish is fulfilled: that the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than the last. Educating a child is not easy. It is expensive, too often bureaucratic and much too often out of a parent's control. For the moms and dads who are struggling to give the gift of education to their children, help is on the way. The Education Savings and School Excellence Act will help families save for their children's educations and give parents control over where their children are educated. On behalf of the 90,000-plus children in the district I represent in Washington State, those children heading to college, I urge the United States House to pass this important legislation. We must do all we can to assure that no child is left behind.
