William F. Goodling said "I want to close by making sure, again, that everybody understands we are not talking about what the committee may have done in relationship to appropriations. That has nothing to do with this legislation. Those are the figures that are being presented by those lobbyists downtown both in the department and those lobbyists who want to protect their downtown bureaucracy and those who want to protect the bureaucracy back in the State. We are not talking about those figures. By the time my senior Senator is finished and they are finished with conference, the amount of money for education will be up, not down. No matter what the appropriators do, there will be more money to your individual classroom through this legislation, no matter how much they may cut. It is important to remember that." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
