I wish to clarify a point, if I can have the attention of the Senator from Connecticut, because I know how these things happen. We have been in touch with Governor Ridge. He does support education savings accounts and would not support an amendment that made that point moot. I know the Senator was at a meeting--he certainly supports the funding of IDEA. I did want to make it clear that he does support the education savings account, so we can clarify that one point.
