On the recordJuly 10, 2003

I am glad that we are up to 18 percent of the 40 percent that Congress promised 27 years ago for IDEA funding. I am glad we are up to 18 percent. That means we are 22 percent short; 22 percent short 27 years later. That is shameful. And we are starting to do the same thing again here. I voted for the No Child Left Behind Act. I believe it can work and should work, if adequate resources are devoted. But if not, it is another unfunded Federal mandate. Shame on all of us if we do that this time.
