Christopher J. Dodd: “What are the implications? It worries me deeply. I think it does you as well.”

I think the high rate at one point in the Nixon Administration is we were spending something close to 6 percent of the Federal budget on secondary and elementary education in this country, the Federal Government was.

But we should not underestimate the value of what one average American--what the impression of one average American makes--can make on a first-time visitor to this country or a repeat visitor, for that matter.

I hope that you will consider at the appropriate time making sure that we have some oversight of what's going on in that rescue plan.

I wish you would on that because I would be interested in how that might work.
