the budget on education issues. joel packer: thank you. thanks for having me. my representative community for education funding is a national coalition of 116 education groups. the budget that the committee reported at today is really going to be devastating for students and children from preschool through higher education. it does that in three major ways. first, in the pot of mrn that's called non-defense discretionary, that's the pot of money that the appropriations committee allocates each year, it is where most education programs are funded along with many other important programs, it starts up by freezing that pot of money at the sequester level for fiscal year 2016 leaving no room for any needed investments. then much worse, in the next nine years, it slashes those funds by $759 billion. it is an average cut of 14%. 14% cut in the department of education would be almost $7 billion, $8 billion that would really be harmful for extra reading help, services for are children with disability college work study. second, it devastates the pell grant program. pell grant program has funding both on the discretionary side and the mandatory side. this budget completely eliminates all mandator

the limit of washington's responsibility is in able, is in able communities and schools to do a better job of educating our children. most of the discussion we're having in the senate education committee today is we talk about reauthorizing the elementary and secondary education act. our moving decisions about whether its schools and teachers are succeeding or failing out of washington and back to the communities and the theory is that allows more innovation. that respects the fact that parents and communities and teachers and principals in their own community cherish those children and it certainly would be wrong for us to say we cherish them more than they do. i spent a lot of my time, mr. president, arguing with people -- they are often democrats -- who want to say i've got a good idea. let's impose it on all the schools. for example common core, there's a good idea, some people say. that's a very explicit standard of point of teaching schools. we have 43 states with waivers from the u.s. department of education. in order to get that waiver, which they need to keep their schools from being failing, they have to in effect adopt common core. that's created a general uprising in ten.

ending his 40 four year broker out, nicklaus came to the capital to testify before the education and workforce committeee he shared the cherished blessing his instructor taught him at an early age. he said to the committee, it was not what you achieved in sports that mattered so much as what you achieved in sportsmanship. few sportsmen have been so dedicated to those beyond the reach of their game as the golden bear. in the afterword to his autobiography, jack nicklaus wrote, it is not those inside the ropes who control golf's future, it is those many thousands, millions indeed, outside the reps who are the future of the game. today we celebrate a champion who is accelerated on the grain and embrace leadership far beyond the links and outside the reps. we herald a long and storied career of courage discipline, generosity success. we honor a man whose love of the game is exceeded only by his love for his beautiful family. his wife brooke, his five children his 25 grandchildren. we thank his family for sharing him with america. thank you to the nicklaus family.
