On the recordJanuary 25, 1996
I do not believe that these are the appropriate levels at which education ought to be funded. I think it will cause a great deal of turmoil at the local level. Keep in mind that, while the Federal Government only provides a small share of the overall education budget, it provides a very high percentage, well over 50 percent, in virtually all districts, of the cost of meeting the education needs of children who are served by title I. I think that is going to be a big hole in those local school budgets, and that is something that the Congress ought to do something about. I know the President very badly wants to see that changed.
