Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Education Goals and Standards The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:05 a.m., in room SD-430, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Senator Edward M. Kennedy (chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators Kennedy, Pell, Metzenbaum, Dodd, Simon, Harkin, Bingaman, Wellstone, Wofford, Kassebaum, Jeffords, and Coats. Opening Statement of Senator Kennedy The Chairman. We´ll come to order. We are enormously grateful for the appearance of Secretary Reich and Secretary Riley before the Labor and Human Resources Committee. In checking with the Congressional Research Service, we found that this is the first time in the history of the U.S. Senate where we have had two secretaries appear at the same time before a Senate panel. I think it is a clear and powerful message of the understanding that President Clinton has and that the administration has about the importance of education and jobs and work force training, under changed world conditions that have taken place, in terms of America being competitive. I think we are mindful of the past, when the skills that were necessary to be achieved in high schools across the country were not as necessary and not as intense because we had a proliferation of lower-skilled needs in our work force. That day is gone; it is past. And I think what has been spoken to both, by President Clinton during the course of the campaign, and what these two extraordinary individuals have demonstrated by their lifetime commitment - former Governor Riley and his very dramatic and solid success in achieving educational advances in his own State of South Carolina, which is a solid record of achievement and accomplishment. It is the kind of record that I think all of us are hoping that this administration is going to be able to achieve for young students all across this country; and what Secretary Reich has, over a very considerable time reminded this country about, which is the importance of both education and training and a high-skilled, well-trained work force, and has been an advocate of that position for many, many years.
