On the recordSeptember 4, 1997
I appreciate the time. I appreciate the hard effort that so many people have put into this particular piece of legislation, but I really rise not as a member of the subcommittee but as a father because there are so many things in this piece of legislation that affect so many aspects of our lives, our kids and their education, our health, our nutrition, the Labor Department, and all of the impact upon where we work, and, indeed, it also affects very, very directly the relationship between us and our children. I have five children, two boys and three girls, and all three of my girls are teenagers, and I pay attention when a situation happens such as happened in Illinois recently, when it is disclosed that a 37-year-old teacher begins an affair with a 13-year-old girl, carries it on for a year and a half, and, to continue the affair, takes her to a title X clinic funded by our taxpayers' money to obtain contraception.
