Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 24, 1994
I really looked forward to this session of Congress primarily because I knew we were going to be reauthorizing ESEA, and Head Start. I looked forward to doing that because others seem to be joining in my crusade to bring about quality in these two areas. In the past, Mr. Chairman, so many times the auditors went out only to look to see whether the pennies went to where someone thought the pennies should go. No one looked to see whether or not there was, in fact, quality in the programs. Mr. Chairman, I am not condemning the programs. I am saying the programs have not been good enough in order to help the disadvantaged become less disadvantaged, or not disadvantaged at all. Therefore, I looked forward to the fact that we were really going to emphasize quality. We have spent a total of $38 billion on chapter 1. We have spent a total $27 billion on Head Start. We never recompleted any Head Start Program, and, as I said, the auditors were not looking for quality.
