On the recordMay 3, 2001
Once again, I thank Senator Hagel for working so closely on this amendment to make sure we had one that really did what we wanted it to do and did it in a cost-conscious and fiscally responsible manner, to make sure we address what is the need out there, the need of kids with disabilities who are not getting served, and to help our local school districts that are meeting that need to be able to use this money to help out their hard-pressed property tax payers. I thank Senator Hagel for his strong work on this amendment; Senator Jeffords, for his many years of support both on the authorizing side and on the appropriations side for kids with disabilities; Senator Kennedy, for his stalwart leadership in all aspects of trying to make life more fair for people with disabilities; Senator Dodd, who, again, has worked hard on these issues through all the years; and my other colleagues on both sides of the aisle.
