On the recordApril 22, 1998

I want to reiterate that what we are talking about helps 14 million families who are the carekeepers of over 20 million schoolchildren. And every school environment is helped--public, private, and home. Our proposal will aid 1 million college students, 250,000 graduate students, 1 million employees, 500 new schools, $10 million in new savings. The Federal Government doesn't have this. This is coming from families, $10 million, a huge influx of new resources. If the Gorton amendment passes, there will be over 10 additional billions--not new expenditures, just freed up expenditures--for smaller classrooms, for new schools, or for whatever those States and local communities feel are necessary to get at the crisis and challenge that we all know and have both cited time and time again are occurring, particularly in kindergarten through high school.
