What about the habits of the mothers who are on welfare and the child is 6 years old? They are saying that they cannot be saved?

So we have to have more support services for them when they get to regular school, and then eventually they are going to have a larger percentage of the juvenile delinquents, and later on the criminals. We are just going to throw away all…

It is more reasonable to take the 5-year-old and 6-year-old as the cutoff point where the child is older and able to go to Head Start or school, kindergarten or regular school, and they are just going to overlook all of the evidence that…

under this amendment, not only are the DARE funds guaranteed but the Governors' fundings are safeguarded by the fact that they will stand alone in a manner which will allow them to deal with the Appropriations Committee's criticism. This…

this substitute would separately authorize $100 million for the Governor of each State to support community-based prevention drug and violence prevention activities. I am offering it as a compromise in an effort to try to resolve this…
