On the recordMay 12, 1994
I would like to begin by rising and thanking a number of people who are responsible for maybe one of the wisest and smartest investments that we will make in our Nation's children in this session of Congress. This is smart and wise because it is proactive, it is preventive, and it invests in education for our children. When 30 years ago, Mr. Speaker, when we first came up with Head Start, we crafted what we thought was a good bipartisan bill to solve problems for at-risk children. We have now brought this bill up to these trends to deal with the problems in our families and with our children and respond to the need to reform our welfare children. This invests in and anticipates those changes.
