“I want to talk about the education section in the bill. The increases in this bill for special education itself are at their highest level, $57 billion, $11.5 billion above last year. I would also like to thank the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey) in that particular committee. The gentleman from Wisconsin is an arm-wrestling opponent, but he does a good job, and I want to thank him for the education portion of this bill.”
