I know Senator Reid understands full well the necessity to invest in education. It is a terrible burden they have in the State of Nevada now in terms of building facilities and getting teachers in classrooms they need to meet the requirements of their rapidly growing population in that State. I appreciate the kind remarks of Senator Reid about me, but I want to return it in kind by saying teachers and students, not just in Nevada but all over the country, have no greater friend than Senator Reid. I do appreciate his strong support of this amendment.
