William H. Frist said "The great thing about this whole debate is that whether it is his intentions or my intentions or the intentions of the Senator from Oregon, it really is to address the fundamental issues of education, of really making sure that our children today, and in future generations, are best prepared. And they are not today. We all have come to that conclusion. Parents recognize that and principals understand that, and teachers and school boards and Governors, and all the various groups that we will hear about. That is the great thing, that as the No. 1 agenda item coming out of this Congress and the Senate, we are addressing education." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
