Johnny Isakson: “The only point I am trying to make for the benefit of the people in the United States of America that may be listening…”

On the recordOctober 10, 2002
The only point I am trying to make for the benefit of the people in the United States of America that may be listening is that by continuing the appropriations that we made last year this year, until we resolve this budget, we are not reducing the amount of money that we are investing in education. I continue to support the resolution because I know the sincere interest this Congress has, Republican and Democrat alike, in seeing to it that America's most disadvantaged children get the very best shake they have ever had. No Child Left Behind did it. And last year we made the most significant increase in education funding, which is being continued through this CR, this Congress has ever made.
