his commitment to public education is really deep seated. And I think he has a deep understanding for it. He brought with him to Washington that deep commitment, I think, that is very healthy, and I am very pleased to see the highest office in the land talk about the commitment to education.

It is already starting to happen. It is amazing what happens when you talk to other teachers and school officers, as I have had a chance to do and I had the chance to meet with someone today. As we look at this whole issue of education and we see that more young people are in public school in the United States this year than we have ever had in history, and that number continues to grow, you get a sense as to why the facilities are so cramped.
