I am confident, this note here from the Catholic Conference reaffirms my confidence. I will be in conference to look after the concerns of the other private schools and the home schoolers. I don't believe there is a reason for us to be concerned. Pass the Armey amendment now and we can go home and rest easily tonight that the freedoms of all of these children, home schoolers, private schoolers, Catholic schoolers, will all be protected. Vote yes. A vote yes today is a vote that allows us all to sleep with the good confidence we have done our duty and protected the rights of free people. Let me say, from all the cards, letters, flowers and phone calls I have had from these school children, I can tell you the face of freedom has a happy smile on it. Let us keep that smile glowing in America today.
