On the recordMarch 12, 1996
My point is to suggest that young people, we want to instill responsibility in them and positive behavior, but also there is a reciprocal responsibility for society to make sure there are opportunities for work and career and positive development there, and we in Congress can play a part. Others also must play a part. Again, I want to thank you for participating with that. I also know that this is not just one-sided, it is not a partisan view. Republicans and Democrats have an interest in this, to prevent teenage pregnancy, and I am delighted that my colleague Chris Shays, the gentleman from Connecticut, is joining me, and welcome your participation.
