Political Quotes

“I have some very qualified staff people who have the opportunity to read these. But this Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, you go to the section that is called Education, and this is all in fine print, and you read this, and you count them, and you find in this document that there are at least 660 education programs just under the Education title. You then go on to the Office of Management and Budget, and you ask them how many programs there are, and you go to the Congressional Research Service, and they say, ``Well, we think you maybe don't have all the programs,'' so they find about another 116 programs. Here is what the Congressional Research says, and the Department says: ``As is noted below, these counts do not include possible additions of education-related programs in the areas of foreign aid, educational or cultural exchanges bringing foreign citizens to the United States.'' They also go on to say that they cannot verify the completeness of this information. ``We are aware of no listing or other source of information on Federal education-related programs that is sufficiently comprehensive in detail to fully meet your needs.''”
