On the recordOctober 5, 2000
It really is a substantial effort that, even if I was not a member of this great fraternity, I would be supportive of it, because it really gets at the heart of where we need to be, and that is communicating with individual young men and with our young people in a way which is relevant in terms of the choices that they have to make, the choice points that they confront, that will have an impact on their life chances in a way that they cannot even imagine at 12 and 13 and 14 and 15 years of age. So I just want to thank the gentleman from Illinois for carving out this special order for a very special message.
