Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 3, 1994
I do not support the amendment for numerous reasons. But, No. 1, I do not support the amendment simply because I agree with what the majority leader says... I do not think there is anyone in here who does not believe it needs fixing. But let us let the committees of jurisdiction act, and act promptly, so that we have a cohesive approach, rather than a piecemeal approach... Every youngster that is born in this country is a citizen in this country... there has to be a family effort to do that. So, Mr. Chairman, we cannot say on one hand that we support a family approach to the literacy problem and on the other hand say, 'Well, the child was born here, so you can deal with him, but you can't deal with the parent.' It would be my hope that we do have this comprehensive approach that will come later.
