Mr. Gargan's points are good. I think somewhere along the line we are going to have a full debate on education, in this House. This recommendation is an attempt to deal, specifically, with what Mr. Gargan is saying. It is to raise the whole level overall. We are not just talking about a few people at the top. So then every student has an opportunity for an excellent education. I am sorry if my words lead Mr. Gargan to believe I was talking about a few gifted students, we are not talking about that. We are talking about raising the overall level of the whole education system. Excellence has to be the underlying force behind raising it higher, where everybody sees that the whole system has to improve to a higher level. I hope that helps clarify. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
