On the recordMay 15, 2002
I am grateful to the commitments from our President, who has given his promise to help us get this bill passed, the promise of the Speaker and our leadership here in the House to get this bill to the floor. It is because of their commitment to children and an education tax credit that we are having this debate now. I thank the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Hoekstra) and the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Hart) for participating in this Special Order. We will do it again next week to speak about solutions for our children.
