Andy Harris said "We have heard the debate. I don't know if vouchers are brought into this debate. It is interesting because, with vouchers like the OSP program in the District of Columbia, 97 percent of the students are minorities. That is a voucher program, and 97 percent are minorities supported by the administration. The majority just yesterday rejected an increase in funding to that program that benefits 97 percent that are minorities. Let's get civil rights straight. If my colleagues support opportunity and education for minorities in this country, that is what the administration is doing. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Jeffries). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared to have it." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
