Governors want education funds
GHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP)
— President Bush urged governors
at an education summit Wednesday
to forge fundamental changes to res
cue the nation’s troubled schools,
but was told in return the federal
government must spend more if that
goal is to be reached.
“We’ve got to challenge the educa
tion system if we’re to meet the chal
lenge of educational excellence,”
Bush told the governors in a pep talk
that opened the nation’s first educa
tional conference between a presi
dent and the states’ executives.
All agreed that help is needed for

Senate approves plan
to pay for war on drugs

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Senate on Wednesday overwhelm
ingly approved a $9.4 billion com
promise plan to pay for the Bush ad
ministration’s war on drugs and an
assortment of anti-crime programs.
“This proposal represents the
strongest first step we can make to
win the war against drugs,” Sen.
Robert G. Byrd, D-W.Va., said as
lawmakers voted 97-2 to attach the
plan to an $11.9 billion money bill
for transportation programs.
“Weak shots across the bow will
not cripple the garbage scow of drug
violence and drug dependency,”
Byrd said earlier, urging a strong
initial assault.
Voting against the measure were
Republicans Jake Gai n of Utah and
Steve Symms of Idaho. Sen. Jim Sas
ser, D-Tenn., did not vote.
The compromise emerged from a
week of negotiations between the
White House and Senate Democrats
and Republicans that began when
Democrats moved to add $2.2 billion
to the $7.9 billion plan unveiled by
President Bush in his Sept. 5 nation
ally televised speech outlining his
war on drugs.
drugs, high dropout rates and medi
ocrity. But behind closed doors Bush
and members of his Cabinet heard
what they did not want to hear: that
the federal government’s commit
ment has to grow.
In particular, governors said
more needs to be done for early
childhood education, to prepare
youngsters from poor families for el
ementary school.
After the first round of meetings,
there was sharp and sarcastic crit
icism of some of the governors from
William Bennett, Bush’s drug policy
coordinator who served as secretary
of education in the Reagan Adminis
tration.
Bennett told reporters that in ad
dition to “a couple of feisty ex
changes about education and de
fense spending . . . there was pap —
standard Democratic pap. There
was standard Republican pap. . . .”
Bennett said, “Much of the dis
cussion took place in total absence of
any knowledge of what works or
what’s effective in the actual experi
ence of school. . . . Some people were
saying things that other people had
written for them, and they were
reading them out of books and read-
inti them off cards.”
One governor trying to
point by comparing military
ucation spending was Demit
Mario Guomo of New York.
“You spent over $300 billion
missiles that you’ll never lire,
said in an interview on the Cr
News Network, addressing his
marks to the Republicans.“Non
American people are saying,‘Ot
few less missiles because we do:
need them as much anymore,Alii:
more money on education!’11
the people will understand that.
A Republican governor,Garret
Carruthers of New Mexico, ran
of several who raised thepointab
early childhood programs.
“If they would give usao-yeaH
that is healthy and alert, the systs
would be much more productiu
Garruthers said.
Bennett, discussing that sessit
said there was “lots of talk ab
early childhood. Everyone agree
they like little children.”
But he said that unless educale
concerned themselves about pe
schools in later grades, morenim
for early childhood programs wail
be a waste.
Vo
Democrats said more money was
needed for education, prevention
and treatment. Republicans said the
package contained most of what
could profitably be spent in 1991
and that any shortfall could be in
serted in a revised version of the
plan due in February.
