Deborah Pryce said "Mr. Speaker, today we take an historic leap forward on behalf of our children, parents and teachers across this great Nation. While lately, the attention of Americans has been focused on the war on terror, the Congress has continued to focus its attention on our Nation's most precious resource, our children. This conference report does just that and recognizes that investing in our children today will prepare them for the challenges of tomorrow. The Committee on Education and the Workforce, assigned the demanding task of reforming our Nation's failing Federal education policy, has reported back a conference report that we all can and should support. I am pleased to stand before my colleagues today to present a rule on a bipartisan piece of legislation that will transform the Federal role in education to ensure that indeed no child is left behind." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
