SENATOR BENNET'S MAIDEN SPEECH -- (Senate - April 29, 2009)
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. BENNET. Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Tennessee, and I acknowledge his great work as Secretary of Education. This is one of those issues on which I think Republicans and Democrats have a lot of work they can do together. There isn't one solution. This is a time when we are long overdue, and we have been short on answers. I think the Education Secretary is perfectly positioned to carry on the work that needs to be done. I look forward to working with the Senator, and I appreciate him enduring my speech.
I yield the floor, and I suggest the absence of a quorum.
