Description

George Bush, "the Education President," had proposed a major experiment in the nation's school system--and had asked corporations to fund it. To Mr. Donley, that's just fine: "It's a small percentage of the amount of money that the business community spends in retraining people to make up for the deficiencies of the public education.... We're going to have a massive number of experimental efforts attempting to determine in a practical, daily, working world of education whether there are ways to do it better. That appeals to the business community." (Indeed, his Pennsylvania 2000 is part of this effort.) Rep. Pursell doesn't have a great deal to say, but Mr. Donley is quite capable of carrying the ball.
