I Don't Know What You Could Say

I Think In America We Have To Get Back To Being The Best Educated General Citizenry In The World And Make Sure We Do Not Lose Our Lead In Research, If We're To Have A Leadership Position In The World.

I Don't Like The Way The Whole Thing Has Developed. And I Just Hope That We Develop Our Own Transportation System, Both Spacecraft And New Boosters, As Soon As Possible. I Hate To Think That We May Be Out There Seven To Ten Years Out And Dependent On The Russians For Our Journey Into Space.

We're Going To Go To The Moon. We're Going To Go On To Mars. We're Going To Set Up A Base On The Moon. Ok, But No Money To Pay For It, Nothing In The Budget For It. And So The Decision Made At That Time Was To Cancel The Whole Shuttle Program To Save Money, Which I Think Was Very, Very Short Sighted.

America Is In A Newly Competitive Position Around The World, And Unless We Keep Our Lead In Education For All Of Our People And Do The Research Along With That, Other Nations Will Start Outdoing Us And They Will Be Leaders In The World.

On K-12 Education America Has Gone Down, Down, Down Compared To The Other Nations. It Doesn't Mean That We Have Gotten Dumber. It Just Means That We Have Not Advanced As Fast In Those Areas As Other Nations Have Done, And We're Way Down Right Now.
