On the recordFebruary 4, 1998
I should like to address my remarks to my colleague from Connecticut. He appeared yesterday. He has been very facilitating to the effort. I appreciate very much what he and my colleague from Texas are endeavoring to do. As I said to him this morning, I look forward to joining with him in his attempt to prospectively deal with these kinds of issues in the future. I am very appreciative of his collegiality. I would say, as I have said repeatedly, that there are certain extraordinary conditions associated with the manner in which we are dealing with this issue. The former President's birthday is this Friday, and he is facing the most difficult battle he has faced in his life. And he has faced many. This is a spontaneous response to that. I will leave it at that. But I do want to again thank the Senator from Connecticut and make known that I intend to join with him in his efforts prospectively to deal with these sorts of matters.

Let me say that every year since the Republicans gained the majority we have worked to increase the maximum Pell grant. For more than 7 years, the Pell grant maximum fluctuated between $2,300 and $2,400. Last year, the President's budget…
