I believe that is a very, very significant commitment toward achieving the goals in the legislation and toward real school reform. When you take the increase in the Head Start Program, which is going to be some $700 million; the increase in the Chapter 1 Program, which is an additional $700 million; the $300 million increase for Chapter 2, which would basically go to training programs for teachers, focusing on teacher education and upgrading teachers' skills--all this is a major, major commitment by the administration to education programs. So, this is a very important day in the life of the education of this country.
