Senator HARKIN and I. who have looked over these figures. take second place to no one on our concern for education and that created in the budget we have here. and what we have done over the yearsmost notably last April when we added $2.6 billion over some very considerable objection and instead having those funds go largely to education. As I said yesterday. on a very personal level. my concern about education goes to the roots of my own family. Both of my parents were immigrants. And my brother. my two sisters. and I have been able to share in the American dream because of our educational opportunities. We have not only added to the Pell grants the $1 billion here but have also increased the funding on guaranteed student loans so that every young man and womanand .this goes for the people who are not quite so youngwould have an opportunity for educational advancement in this country.
