“I am truly in awe not only of the responsibility my constituents conferred upon me constitutionally to represent them in this hall and in this Chamber, but also with the quality of people who come from coast to coast and beyond; and here I stand with one who distinguished himself first as an educator and then fought this country's battles in southeast Asia where he quite fittingly earned the title of top gun. And I stand with another who distinguished himself first as a teacher, as did my colleague from California, but my friend from Wisconsin, who worked so hard as a teacher, and then went into home building. And we really have the essence of the American dream embodied in these two gentlemen. But Mr. Speaker, I would simply concur with the statements that have been made tonight as we try to dream a dream that can be reality for our children. This is something achievable. And I especially, Mr. Speaker, appreciate the comments of my friend from California (Mr. Cunningham). Because what we need is not a war of words, what we need is a solid commitment to our families and to our children.”
