The committee was able to shift priorities. so that the rescissions in our Subcommittee on Labor. Health and Human Services. and Education was reduced to $3.05 billion. We restored some $1 billion in cuts on education because it was our sense that the education funding should remain at as high a level as possible. It is my own view. Mr. President. that education. as a national priority. is second to none. I come by that view from the experience with my own parents. both of whom were immigrants. who had very little education and therefore valued it very highly in our household. My father. Harry Specter. had no formal education.
