On the recordMarch 12, 1997
Mr. Horn, you know one of the things that he told us yesterday that really stuck with me was that he has this wonderful building and all these students who come there, and they have been there for 10 years, and 2 blocks away is the school that he went to as a youngster, and it has bars on the windows and police cars outside and people patrolling the perimeter. But in his facility two blocks away he said that he needs no guards in the daytime, there has never been any graffiti, and despite all of the important and expensive equipment and things he has inside that building nothing has ever been touched.
