Dan Kildee said "We have some public schools, I might add, that have about 38 percent Indian students, and they depend a great deal upon these dollars. They do not have excess funds. They are not all on reservations. So we are really not only taking away from the Indian students, but taking dollars away from those schools that are educating Indian students. So I think the point here is the restoration is not total in the Coburn amendment. It is more fulsome in the Obey amendment." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
