Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to urge adoption of this amendment, of which I am a cosponsor. It is purely a technical amendment. It would change the August 30 date in the Federal right-to-know law in two places in order to reflect the fact that the month of August actually has 31 days. The overall importance of the amendment, however, cannot be minimized. The provision to be amended relieves institutions of higher education from collecting separate sets of graduation rates in order to comply with the Federal law. Institutions would be allowed to use data that they are already collecting in order to meet the requirements of the Federal law. The simple date change from August 30 to August 31 will accomplish that objective once and hopefully forever. I urge the amendment's approval.”
