President. we are here today to talk not about a new program. but really enabling public policy to follow the basic American values we hold dear. the values of hard work and rewarding hard work. of civic obligation. and of lending a helping hand to others. We are particularly cognizant of the value in our county of continuing to develop social inventions that provide access to the American dream. Access to the American dream has brought people from all over the world to our shores. immigrants who then knew when they came that with hard work. initiative. selfreliance. and so on. they could own a home. they could go to school. they could enhance themselves and help this country. These are the values we stand for. and these are the values we promote in this bill that we bring to the floor today. These values are in trouble.
