The gentleman has touched a nerve, because this is wonderful; and this means better prepared students for colleges. And we have a governor who is really committed to college. Governor Bush, who is running for the Presidency, said every child has a chance to go to college and make it; and I agree with him completely, having been a university president for 18 years. And what the gentleman's committee and what this Congress have done has been to get a Pell grant up further than it ever has been for students in need, money called the Pell grant, and college work study and all of the loans and so forth, but looking at the ones for the grants, any student can go to college and get a degree. And we thank the gentleman for that.
