i believe that this kind of approach is a good supplement to what we do with pell grants and perkins loans. it's not a substitute, it's not a panacea, but it is a way that each individual can decide the education they want and have an incentive to get that education. one feature of this law as it exist exists today is 245 some of our most economically disadvantaged families that may not have a full $2,500 that they continue to owe in federal tax liability can get up to $1,000 as a refundable credit. that's particularly helpful to those families that incur tuition and text wook expenses and are barely getting by. i believe that this educational opportunity is not just about helping the students but making our economy more competitive and having a competitive work force. and with that, i would yield a minute to the gentleman from california who's spoken so eloquently on public education, to speak about how this works with higher education. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank my colleague. you know, it's been said just prior to this amendment that it's the kind of things that we

francis perkins served through four presidential administrations. if alive, she'd be serving today on the basis of one confirmat n confirmation. so they were not necessarily thinking that those appointed to offices would be necessarily changing every time there was a presidential election, as has become our custom even when it's the same party. they may have assumed that someone appointed to an office would serve forever. so the recess appointment was truly seen as something more temporary. before you had the entitlement to serve for the rest of your life, you needed advice and consent. >> let me just follow that up. i still don't understand, other than the senate staying in session basically forever, that is not adjourning at all, how they protect their right to participate. >> i would make one suggestion. the senate should tell -- the senate of every political persuasion should tell -- we think this is a proper accommodation. you should not make a recess appointment, even in a session -- an intersession as long as ten days where it's been fairly w

tony perkins is well known. he's the president of the family research council.ch republican and a very right wing conservative. he had this to say about newt gingrich in an open letter. he said, gingrich has never been in a more influential position in deciding the outcome of the race. he could be a king maker if he stepped out of the race and threw his support to another candidate. alexander burns, those are strong words and they're not the kinds of words that you want to hear going into the south when you kind of want to win the south. >> no, ashleigh, they're not and it does illustrate what they're doing to execute around newt gingrich. there is a real sense particularly around santorum supporters that if somebody is going to get nominated that's not mitt romney, there only has to be one conservative alternative in the race. at the same time, folks like tony perkins who's been around the block, knows conservative politics, knows newt gingrich, he understands that gingrich is not the kind of guy who can get bullied out of this race. i think you're going to hea
