If the gentlelady will yield, I would add it's been a great privilege to serve with you here and to travel. You'll enjoy a story from that trip when we were visiting the Special Forces in the Philippine Islands. This past September, I was at my local fair in York, Pennsylvania, and I ran into one of those Special Forces members that's from my district that we had met and had just left the military and was getting ready to go back to school. But we were reminiscing about our trip to visit him and his fellow special operators on that trip. It was great to travel and to serve with you, and I wish you great success as you continue to serve the State of Colorado with great fashion.

My concern is that the president's budget proposal is trying to reinvent the wheel at the expense of proven and critically needed Perkins programs.

I do not support vouchers that take money out of the public school system, first of all because we promised 40 percent of special ed, 1975, and we are funding less than 20 percent of that commitment.
