Mr. Prcsident. I grew up the son of workingclass immigrants. but was able. because of my service In World War II. to attend Columbia University. thanks to the 01 bill. I want all Americans to have the same opportunities I had. because education Is the key to prosperity and security and because. like I. not only will they learn important subjects. but maybe their horizons will be less limiting. My horizons were developed because I saw my parents standing behind the counter making sandwiches. washing dishes. working from 6 oclock in the morning until 11 oclock at night. typically. 7 days a week. just to grind out a living to take care of my sister and me.
