“I rise in support of the budget resolution. As I see the budget, it is probably the most important document that comes from the administration. What it expresses is its policy, its priorities, the things that it wants to see changed, the direction of the Government, and expression of confidence in the future, the things that ought to be done by the various Cabinet offices. I serve on the Committee on Education and Labor and I am very pleased to see a budget come forth from the White House that articulates the hopes and aspirations of the American people with emphasis on education. The budget resolution underscores its support of this direction, and of all of the functions that we have in this budget resolution, the one that has the highest percentage of increase is in the education and training areas, and I am very, very pleased with that. The President has staked his future on the programs that he has articulated in the education area.”
