On the recordMarch 17, 1998
I want to acknowledge one of the most eloquent statements we have heard about education savings accounts that has just been given to us by Senator Torricelli. I particularly applaud his reflection on the caste system that we are in danger of creating in this country. It has been rewarding to me, and I know to the Senator from New Jersey, that many of the leaders of these communities, from Alveda King to Congressman Flake, really want these savings accounts because they understand it could be a potential avenue and tool to alleviate that caste system. I appreciate those remarks.
