On the recordFebruary 24, 1994
Mr. Chairman, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 6 and would like to congratulate my subcommittee chairman, Dale Kildee, and his staff for their extraordinary work on this bill. And to our distinguished full committee chairman, Bill Ford, let me express my genuine admiration and respect for the legacy you will leave when you retire at the end of this year. You have produced a body of law that protects the rights and advances the well-being of millions of children, students, working and retired Americans. As one of the original authors of the ESEA, one of the greatest achievements of this body, Bill Ford must be extremely proud of the challenge and optimism that this bill represents. Along with Goals 2000, this remarkable reauthorization will finally bring the Nation's education needs into full partnership in education reform at the State and local level.
