On the recordSeptember 17, 1996
H.R. 3803 is legislation that pays tribute to a great President and a wonderful friend. The bill is entitled the George Bush School of Government and Public Service Act. The beauty of this is it is a 1-year funding. The beauty of this is, instead of spending a whole lot of money building some monument someplace that the taxpayer has to buy or pay for or to spend a whole lot of money to set up some park in memory of a wonderful President, a great friend, this is done one time only because of an amendment that I offered to the legislation. It must be spent, if appropriated, in 1997. The purpose of the bill is to authorize the Secretary of Education to provide grant assistance to the Texas A&M University for the establishment of the George Bush Fellowship Program. This one-time authorization will ensure that the George Bush Fellowship Program gets off to a solid start. The George Bush School will be offering advanced degrees in public administration and international affairs.
