Political Quotes

“I rise to commend Chairman Porter, Ranking Member Obey, and the members of the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Appropriations for their foresight in increasing appropriations in recognition of the contributions made by this Nation's seniors through the programs of the National Senior Service Corps--Foster Grandparents, Senior Companions, and Retired and Senior Volunteers Program. The resources which the committee proposes to make available through the fiscal year 1998 appropriations process will go far toward affording thousands more older Americans to share their experience of a lifetime in helping children in need of a loving mentor, peers in need of a caring friend to help out in daily living, and communities across the Nation. I am proud to be considered a proponent of these important programs.”
