I am sorry to talk about my niece so much. Her name is Lari Dawn. She is named after my dad and my brother, Larry. We love Lari Dawn. But she is one of 3.3 million teachers who are forced to reach into their own pockets to provide supplies for their students. They are going to lose that. Again, that doesn't sound like much, but for the American people they get their money's worth for every Lari Dawn of the world who is out there trying to educate their children. For the 3.3 million teachers and the head of the Business Roundtable, all aspects of our society benefit from this legislation. Again, I express my appreciation to the Senator from Montana.
