The $221 million provided in this amendment for Pell grants will allow an additional 442.800 students to receive educational awards in fiscal year 1987. We must not abandon college students from low- and middleincome families at a time of rapidly escalating tuition costs. Mr. President. the Federal Government must continue its historic support of public education. Access to education for all students regardless of economic circumstances is one of the greatest legacies of this Nation.

We must continue to provide that opportunity for future generations of American children.
