“At the CIA. {time} 1830 Two billion dollars. There is an agency that the President does not know has $2 billion, the director does not know has $2 billion, it is just wandering around there. Think of what that could do for the education budget. One and one-tenths billion dollars of those $2 billion could go to end the cuts. That is the exact amount of the cuts, the $1.1 billion proposed for title I. You could take another $300 million for Head Start. Those are the Head Start cuts proposed. You could take $600 million for the summer youth employment program. It is $2 billion. That adds up to quite a bit for education funding. People of America should not rally to fill up the gaps when our Federal Government really has the resources, and the resources are still going in the wrong directions. They are being wasted, and not being directed at the priority of the moment. The priority of the moment is an educated population in America. We need more money in education from the Federal Government. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from California [Ms. Pelosi] to join the conversation.”
