On the recordDecember 6, 2004
This bill provides opportunities to young people who have already not only graduated from high school, but showed exceptional academic achievement. Many of them had to overcome social and economic barriers that we would never want or expect our own children to be able to cope with, let alone overcome. It's not fair that in the District of Columbia they do not have the opportunities that many of our children in the suburbs have. To make at least this very important access to higher education available to them at a very reasonable cost is a terribly appropriate thing to do.
