Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nomination Hearing of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, on Richard W. Riley, of South Carolia, to Be Secretary of Education, January 12, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:05 a.m., in room SD-430, Senator Edward M. Kennedy (chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators Kennedy, Pell, Metzenbaum, Dodd, Simon, Mikulski, Wellstone, Wofford, Kassebaum, Coats, Gregg, Thurmond, and Durenberger. Opening Statement of Senator Kennedy The Chairman. We will come to order. There are a number of confirmation hearings this morning, and we will follow a procedure which I think is generally acceptable to the other members of the committee. That is, we will forego opening statements, and any of the members who want to make statements may do so during the time which we will allocate to them. We will instruct the staff to have 10-minute rounds. Since I have worked out this procedure with Senator Kassebaum and discussed it with other members, it seems to be a desirable way to proceed so that we will have the maximum opportunity to hear from the nominee. Just a very brief comment. Let me welcome the nominee to this committee and to commend the President-elect for nominating Governor Riley for this office as our country´s commissioner and leader on education policies. I believe all of us who are aware of Governor Riley´s exemplary career as Governor of the State of South Carolina are enormously impressed by his achievements and accomplishments in strengthening the educational system in the State of South Carolina. When he was Governor he demonstrated an extraordinary ability, not only to outline the goals for strengthening elementary and secondary education, but a remarkable capability of building a coalition of the business communities, the parents, the teachers, and those in the rural areas of South Carolina, to gain their support for an educational program which I hope he will outline here today. This program produced absolutely extraordinary results in terms of student achievement, reduction in dropout rates, increased salaries for teachers, and narrowing of the gap between Afro-American and white students. These students made greater academic advances than students in any State in the country over a period of 10 years.
