Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 7, 1994
I am pleased to be part of the school-to-work opportunities proposal. I want to commend Senator Kennedy for his leadership. Senator Kassebaum at this point is not supporting it but she has been great in the education matters generally. I appreciate that. Senator Wofford has been absolutely superb in this whole field. He has shown leadership in Pennsylvania on this, and I really appreciate his interest. Senators Jeffords and Hatfield and Durenberger all are cosponsors, and they have been superb. This is just one piece of the education puzzle, as Senator Kennedy pointed out a number of things. But this is part of it. We talk about higher education and that is clearly part of what we have to do. This is higher education spelled a little differently. This is h-i-r-e, hire education, where you learn as you work. We have to invest in our young people. The countries that are moving ahead are investing in education. That is one of the clear lessons as you look at the whole economic picture.
