Sen. Paul Simon said "The answer is I may be. We are checking out the Senator's amendment with the Departments of Labor and Education to get their reaction. I have not had a chance to read the amendment yet. I do not know if my colleague from Massachusetts has or not. But the answer is we may be supporting it. We want to look at it. The point that the Senator from Kansas makes about Tech-Prep, there is no question there are a number of programs where there can be some overlapping, and that is why we do have to reshape. While there is some overlapping, this is a different program, and it is one that I think really needs to be encouraged. This is one where, for once, we have business, labor, everyone aboard saying this is the direction we are going to have to go. I think we have an opportunity. I do not want to see us muff that opportunity." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
