On the recordSeptember 4, 1997
What the gentleman said is right and what our colleagues said was correct, in that over a month ago we reached a bipartisan agreement on helping parents and helping students in college, whether it be the Hope scholarship program, the tax deductions for parents with children in college, or the Pell grants for children who are too poor to be able to benefit from tax cuts or the scholarship programs. We addressed that in a bipartisan effort, although I have to admit before July 30, if you would have told me in June or May it would have been bipartisan on the quality, or the total amount of the tax cuts that had been provided for education, I would not have believed it.
